State Meet--Oct 27

The big State Meet was October 27th and yes, it was the coldest and nastiest day ever....35 degrees and raining--typical Cross Country meet weather.

 

His cheering team was all ready while the poor kids were all bundled up waiting for their race to start

 

 

 

Hunter was very anxious, God love him, he sets such high goals and expectations for himself that he stresses himself out for days before the meet. I think that since this was his first time at this race and course, he was a little uncertain as what to expect. There were team tents as far as you could see. I was a nervous Momma!

Keegan came and made this sign--so PROUD

As you can tell from the starting line there were kids EVERYWHERE!!! It was like herding cows at the sound of the gun, hard to get  descent place until you were about  1/2 mile out and then the lanes were only 3 wide!!!! It was awful--you couldn't pass anyone or anywhere, Hunter said that he had to stop running and walk  at some points because it was so tight and backed up.

He did say that he like the course--hills and flat land together-- just wished that the lanes were wider.
