Cross Country is Coming to an End
This week is Derek's last week to run on the cross country team. It's been a great four years. These are pictures from last week's race.
On Westview's team, the races always begin like this:
And all the runners chant, really loud, "HARD WORK, PAYS OFF", several times. It's gets them all pumped and ready to run. (It actually gets me pretty pumped, too!)
Coach Colson is an amazing coach and we are grateful for our association with him for the past four years.
But, for Derek, running has been mostly a lonely sport. He picks his pace...and simply runs. The pack is usually pretty far ahead, but that doesn't bother him, he just runs.

congrats Derek!
ReplyDeleteI have loved watching Derek run these past four years. I'm always so proud of how he keeps on going and never quits - these are lessons he will draw on the rest of his life. Your 'hills' comment made me smile. Those are Sarah's favorite parts of the runs :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Fred has blogged about Sarah's XC but I may copy your idea and do one like yours :)
ReplyDeleteDerek is such a champ!
