Kolby's Meet

Last week Kolby had his 2nd cross country meet at Kit Carson Park.  He did great.  There were several differences between this meet and the previous one: last time the freshmen & sophomores raced together, and this time it was just freshmen/novices.  And at this race there were some hills, and it was a longer course at 2 miles. 

Even with it being a longer race and adding hills, Kolby still came in at a 6 min 1 second average mile.  And it seemed to me that he had a lot more energy following the race this time than he did after his first meet.  He was excited that he got a medal this time.  His time was 12:02.3.  He came in 25th in this race (out of 164 boys).  And he came in 3rd from the boys in his school who ran this race.  His school came in 2nd place in this race. 

We're just happy that he seems to be enjoying cross country so much, and that it's building healthy habits that he can use throughout his life.  It's been really fun to watch him be so self motivated and have fun doing it.
