Cross country


The county championship was yesterday afternoon. I thought it was the last meet, but we still have one to go, and it's the biggest yet, because they learn if anyone qualifies for the state meet in Knoxville. Avery had his best meet yet, I think, and he earned a medal. He finished 25th out of seventy something. I'm not sure exactly how long it was, but it's usually 1.25-1.5 miles. He finished in 10 minutes. It's so fun watching him compete, but I get so emotional that I can't yell or cheer for him! I don't know why I get that way, but I do it every time.
I was very excited to get a picture of him running this time!!

Way to go! Of course if I had been there I would have screamed my head off and all of the other runners would have stopped to see what was blowing up and you would have come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. I don't know why your Mom can't do the same for you. I love you dearly and please consider your handsome faced kissed all over!
