X-Country - Region and State

This fall has kept McKenna busy with cross country. Up at 6 am for training, drivers ed at 7 am followed by school and then cheer practice and games after that. Recently McKenna ran in region at Valley's golf course. A great course to watch the race, but a difficult course with the ups and downs. She placed well enough to compete at state this past week.

Great runners and even better friends!

State was held at Sugarhouse park in SLC. She had really slacked on her training, she basically ran out of steam - all those early mornings. She hadn't really practiced for a couple of weeks before state thinking she was going as an alternate. When she found out she would be running, she tried talking the coaches into letting another team member run. However, they kept her on the roster and she placed 61st out of 80-100 runners. Not bad for not training. Way to go! Maybe next year without drivers ed to worry about, she will have more uummph!

Pre-run group motivation boosting going on! Girl power!
