This kid has been running with Mitch for a few years now so it was a no brainer that she would run Cross Country this year. In Mt. Zion, girls are allowed to start participating in 5th grade. So of course this 10 year old was all in. The team started practicing in July. By early August she had her sights set on Varsity. Yes, we have so many 5th -8th grade girls participating, there is a Varsity and a Junior varsity team. I tried to explain to her that she would be running with Junior High girls that have a bit more experience, but she didn't like that explanation. So this girl went out, ran hard and got herself a varsity spot, like no big deal! She's had several great finishes this season. Her best time is 15:22 for two miles. Super proud of this kid!
