Kody Makes the Paper

Kody was so excited yesterday when he opened the paper to the sports section and saw his picture on the front page.  He had a great first week of cross country.  He took 30 seconds off his time from last year on Saturday.  There were 320 boys in his race.  It was a crazy start.  Kayla said you could feel the earth move as they started the race.
