Maddy's debut as a cheerleader!














And for those of you interested, her middle school, Penndale, SOUNDLY won the game. I think Craig was reliving his old High School glory days on the field! :)

Another Nicky XC Update

Well, Nicky posted another Personal Best this Saturday (Oct 25) at the Greensboro Invitational at Hagan Stone Park.   Out of 319 boys who ran in his race, Nicky came in 4th with a 9 second faster time of 18:17.   He was the first JV Jordan runner to cross the line.  Will this boy ever stop running faster?   Here are some pictures – enjoy!

Look for him one row back…

How’s that for a coupla misfits watching the race??!!

 

Approaching the finish line…

 

The Jordan Falcons were missing one of their better runners on Saturday so they came in 4th but Walter believes that if he had been there, the team would have come in 2nd.   (XC scoring is pretty weird – ask Walter if you’re interested.)

Nicky’s off for a week then he has the Durham City/County championships next Tuesday.   We’ll let you know how he does!

Nicky, the Cross-Country Runner Extraordinaire!

The XC team participated in the Wilmington, NC, invitational event last weekend.   There were 30-some teams involved and in Nicky’s event, about 200 runners.   Nicky is the 8th best runner on the team (out of about 24 runners).   This puts him at the top of the JV runners.  However, that weekend one of the Varsity runners was unable to attend.  Soooo, Nicky was invited to run with the Varsity runners!   He ran a personal best for the 5K – 18.32 minutes.  To top it off, Grandpa Swanson & Grandma Jane came up from Myrtle Beach to watch!   Here are some photos from the meet -

The start – check out all those runners!

 

Running…

Grandpa & Grandma congratulate the runner!

It was a great weekend for the family!
