McKay had a busy day on Saturday. He began it with a cross country meet at Horizon Christian Academy. He was selected to run varsity (they picked the top 10 fastest kids on the team. He is the 3rd fastest).
McKay is a little shy and thank goodness he has his buddy Carter on the team with him. It helps him feel a little more comfortable. Carter is on his football team as well.
Varsity team getting instructions.
Warming up
McKay figured out a pretty good pace for this race. He was 17th out of 91 runners. His time was 14:24 and he was third on his team. His last time was 15:17 so he beat that time by a lot! He was also one of only 4 6th graders in the top 20.
The course had these cute Star Wars posters all over it.
McKay pushed himself pretty hard. He said he felt like he was going to throw up the entire time. I think we should figure out a better regiment with dinner the night before and breakfast in the morning. He at cereal and milk and I think that was probably not a great idea.
Way to go McKay!!
After his race he cheered on the JV team.
This was Carter's first race and he did so well!
Taking off his chip. We are so proud of McKay and how hard he works!
