GNMS Cross Country - 7th Grade


Cross Country for the girls was such a pleasant surprise.  They said they wanted to run because all of their friends were running.  We agreed and it actually worked out great.  The bus would drive them to Granger everyday except Friday and they would practice until 5:30.  This was great since Nathan's football practice was until 5:45.  I could work late at school or run errands and then pick everyone up!
 
 The second meet was the LaGrange invitational at First Tee.

 The girls BLEW US AWAY!  Now up until this point all we had seen was them running at practice, and half the time we spotted them they were walking.  They had traveled near Athens for their first meet and Maddie placed 62nd and Catherine 90th.  These did not sound like numbers to brag about.
    At First Tee, Catherine got 2nd and Maddie got 3rd.  We were ecstatic!!!!  We were so proud of them.  honestly we did not think they had that in them!
We went to Carrolton for a meet.
We went to Chic-fil-a afterwards and then
shopping for Halloween costumes.

For the rest of the season they continued to place at every meet!!!  They are amazing runners with those long legs!  (oops, I used an adjective to describe their body parts...)
