Joshy's First Cross Country Meet

On Thursday after school, Joshy had his first Cross Country meet! This was very exciting for us. He had been practicing with them for about a month leading up to school starting and we have all been proud of how hard he has worked to condition himself and do his best during practices.

Cross country isn't an incredibly interesting sport to watch. We saw them start off, then walked to the street where they eventually ran by, and then went back to the start which was also the finish line. This was about a 3 mile race.

Almost to the turn around and the home stretch!

He did extremely well! I'm not sure what his time was, but something in the 19 minute zone. He placed 6th which earned him a spot on the varsity team. Yikes!
