Elizabeth had her second and final cross country meet today! It was supposed to be at Leslie Groves Park. The Hanford cross country team was supposed to come down and recruit 8th graders. However, the air quality at Leslie Groves was in the orange range (100-150) and kids aren't allowed to exercise outside in that. They moved the meet to Libby where it was in the yellow range (50-100). We are lucky we are not the west side right now. They are getting the hazardous air. The forest fires right now are on the west side of the cascades so the smoke is settling down into the Puget Sound and some is escaping over here as well. Not too much, but thankfully we're decent. So at least we still got to run.

Team antics at the starting line.
The 7th grade girls team (missing 2 who were still getting their stickers).
Starting line! This race is the kind where you see the kids at the beginning and then not again until the end.
Elizabeth coming into the finish line.
She ran a 19:29 for 2 miles and was 42 out of 62 girls. Royal City was there! Plus all the Richland and Pasco teams and a few schools from Oregon.
I watched the boys 7th grade team line up.
And off they go!
Elizabeth had her snow cone that Gram bought for her and then settled into hang out with her friends. Gram, Papa, and Auntie Laura were all there. Nathan finished practice early that day so a teammate's Mom brought him home and then he biked down to Libby to recruit anyway!
