Elizabeth had her last middle school race of the year! Her shin was really hurting again, but she decided to run on it anyway and let it heal over the next several months. I'm so glad she ran! She got a 19:04 for her 2 mile race and it was a huge PR for her.
Swinging with her team before the race.
I took a little walk since I was there early. It was a really pretty day and about 75 degrees.
At the start!
And they are off!
Sprinting to the finish line.
One of the fun parts about the last middle school race of the year is that it's at Leslie Groves Park which is really close to Hanford High School. During the last meet of the year, the high schoolers come running down to the park to "recruit" 8th graders for next year. I saw the girls group come running down the trail first and entered the park. A while later, here came the boys thundering down from the north to recruit the 8th graders. I came across this group of hooligans after they showed up. The one in the middle DID cheer her sister on as she ran her race. I saw a few of the other boys also running alongside their little middle sisters as they ran their races cheering them on! It was so cute.
