Roddy Makes the Podium

Saturday Kody got inivted to race in the Shelton invite. Only the top runners get to compete. Our school was only able to take a total of 17 runners. He was one of the two Freshman boys.



He raced in the Freshman/Sophmore Mile and
took 8th with his best time of 4:49. It was an actual mile not the 1600 which they usually run. The mile is longer so his time will not count towards the standings which is a bummer. He was an alternate to run in the 800 and was able to get into that race. It was raining so hard and he got soaked!
















He took 5th in the Freshman/Sophmore heat and got to stand on the podium for the first time.. Only to be announced as "5th place from White River, RODDY Gould." Poor kid and of course with all the family there he has taken alot of teasing. Luckily it was only family that jumped on the Roddy bandwagan.
