Hanford JV girls traveled to Connell for the Connell Invite! The top 12 had headed to Portland for the Nike Invite.
Elizabeth had a great race and ran all the way up that hill without stopping. She said she thought about stopping and walking but she ran with a teammate and they didn't let each other stop on the hill. She ran a 27:55 which was 4 seconds slower than her PR even with a huge hill! She got 12th place and they gave ribbons for the top 15 so she got a ribbon. She was thrilled with that. The girls JV team got 1st place at the invite! Elizabeth was the #5 Hanford girl so she helped the get the points for that 1st place finish. She felt really confident after today. She said she didn't notice her shins hurting during this race. The ibuprofen seems to help a lot. She's not sure if the shin guards are helping but she wears them anyway.
Purple Swarm warming up!
Running through the dusty sagebrush.
Heading up the hill. She didn't stop or really slow down. She just pushed through the pain.
Sprint down the hill to the finish line.
Her 12th place ribbon!
