(All these pictures were taken last year. His first meet is not for a week)
Last year out of the blue, he decided he wanted to take part in a sport. The one that seemed best suited, the one that he wanted was Cross Country. This year he’s still in it.
It’s great to see him as part of a team.

To see him run with determination.

To find his place.

Knowing that each step, each strong breath builds his lung strength. Each meet builds friendships.

He’s growing up. Finding his place.
Even though sometimes he frustrates me. He’s a teenager.
He’s a good kid. And he’s growing up too fast.
Good luck this season! Hope he has a great time.
@Tara R.,
Thanks! He let us know last night that right now he is fifth on his teem – and if he keeps it up, he’ll be able to compete in all the matches, even the county meets, etc (which only take the top 7 of each team). He’s really improved! Hoping for a great season this year!!
