XC 2012

Caden had a good season.  He had a goal to get 18:40.  He got 18:55.  He had a struggle with some athsma issues.  He had horrible chest pains one Sunday evening and would grab his chest and moan.  The next morning he was getting ready to go to school and he was on the carpet crying cause his chest hurt so bad.  I took him to the doctor, but unfortunatley there is really nothing they can do...just take his meds.  Nose spray, albuterol and Advair.  He is his father's son.
This certainly played a negative factor in his racing.  Being a senior he really wanted to make a trip or two.  But that wasn't to be.  We are so proud of him and the discipline and hard work he put into running XC for Mountain View High School.  I don't know many who could do it...especially for 4 years. He earned the blanket for doing XC for 4 years.   Good job son!!  He earned a letter this year too!!

 



 

 

Hailey ran XC for her 3rd year at Lake Hazel.  She gets to move to the big high school next year.  She had a goal of 10 minutes for her mile and a half.  She got 10:08.  She learned many things this year.  Sleeping and eating habbits are so important if you want to run fast.  Also, training hard is vital. She also learned that racing is 90% mental.  She will have a great time in high school running because of all she learned in middle school.  So proud of her and what she achieved this year!!

Looking forward to next year!
