Cross Country fall finale

Kyle and Emily finished off the fall season of cross country. They both enjoyed the season, the sport, and their team very much. They worked really hard and ran to their heart's content. Both talk of running more in the spring and with cross country next fall.

Kyle after he got trampled at the start. It's hard being an elementary age kid running with middle schoolers who are much bigger than you. Kyle learned that even when you get trampled, you get up again and start running. And that they aren't going to start the race over because you got trampled. 
Kyle, Emily, and a few of their young teammates (ones in elementary school) ran a JO race together / appropriate age / gender divisions after the team season was over. It was a fun experience for the kids to actually run against kids their own age and see where they stack up. Both ran hard, had fun, and did well.
