This morning was the league meet for the boys' cross country season. For Thomas, it was the final meet. He set a new PR of 23:19. Overall, the middle school boys won the league trophy. It made my heart smile to see how pleased Thomas was to hold onto the trophy and feel as though he is part of that team. I'm so grateful for how the boys, all of whom are clearly significantly more athletic than our little guy, accept him as part of the team.
Robert ran 20:18, his best time of the season...of all three races he has finished. Because of injury to others runners, he will still be able to participate in district competition next weekend. We aren't sure if we are going to be able to be there, but we will worry about that when the time comes along. The high school team came in third overall, and some friends' son place in the top ten so that was very exciting.
To be honest, there is almost nothing, especially in these politically charged days, that can reaffirm my faith in humanity like these cross country experiences!
