Saturday was a huge race for Kody! Only the top runners and teams make it to the District race. The weather was horrible. We woke up to winds and pouring rain. It was a blessing that it quit just before Kody's race and then started raining again just after our girls team finished running.
Here he is taking the lead.
Now coming in to the finish with no one close. The next runner was 13 seconds behind.
He ran it in 16:09. A personal best by 11 seconds. It was so exciting!! (I wasn't even the only mom who cried.)
He was tired, but so excited!!
He has dreamed and worked so hard for this day!!
As quoted from the local newspaper:
Gould is First as Hornets Advance
"Individually, the highlight of the day for White River was the championship performance of Kody Gould."
The team qualified for Districts with a 4th place finish.
The coaches were equally excited.
Kody was also named #1 on the all league first team.
It was a great day!! Now on to Districts....
