On to State!!

Last year at the District Cross Country Meet Kody collapsed at the finish line.  So this year I prayed that he would have the strength and endurance to finish the race and be happy with what he had done. 

 At the start..he is on the far left.

Just over the 2 mile mark.  Side by side with teammate and good friend Marcus.

Do you ever notice that your prayers get answered specifically? He crossed the finish line in 34th qualifying for State indiviudally and still standing. His time was great!! My prayers were answered. We then watched him walk through the line, wobbling and getting whiter all the time. Luckily, we were right there at the opening and he collapsed in his dad's arms. It took both of us to keep him moving and get him back to the team tent. He then got sick just like last year. I did not like it at all. It was neat to watch the care and concern of his other teammates.

 I was amazed though how quick he recovered when they announced that they had qualified for State as a team.

They took the last qualifying spot and lost to the 7th place team by only 1 point.  It was a good surprise for all.  They were the most excited team on the podium.

Kody and the Coach!!




 
 
 

Individual Qualifiers.  Kody was one of three on the team.

Very happy teammates and good friends!

I had to add this picture because I thought it was so cute!!
