We had the XC banquet last night to finish the 2010 season. Both Carolyn and James ran this year for Owego.
Carolyn ran modified as she's in 7th grade. James was able to run varsity! They both ran with the coach almost every morning this summer. James had the goal of running varsity this year. All that training paid off! He ran varsity and was consistently their #3 or #4 man. The three top runners were all seniors. James really bonded with these boys and we were especially glad they were such good role models.
The coach was great---had them do some fun things like paintball and also the 1st annual Halloween Fun Run. All 40 members of the boys and girls teams dressed as ZOMBIES and ran through downtown Owego! HILARIOUS!
James finished top 20 in sectionals and the two Owego boys who finished before him are going on to States this weekend. His best time for this season was 18:11 (5K)
So here are some pictures from the season. At the banquet last night James was honored with the "Best First Year Runner" for the boys and also was chosen by the S.T.A.C. Coaches conference as "Division First Team All Star!"
He's already looking forward to next season!
Not bad for a "frosh!"
