Okay, I’ve taken a lot of razzing from you all about not posting current updates on Nicky’s XC progress, so here goes!!!!
Nicky’s Varsity team had an undefeated season this year for their conference (PAC-6). They also took home the trophy and first place for the PAC-6 championship (Oct 19). Nicky ran Varsity for the PAC-6 championship – his time was 18:12. It was about 80 degrees. Here’s a picture of the victory team -
Next up was the Mideast Regional – this occurred on Saturday, Oct 30 at Nicky’s favorite course, the WakeMed Soccer Park (in Cary, NC). This time it was about 54 degrees – the first time Nicky raced in cool weather. Nicky blew us and his team AWAY!!! His time was 17:15 !!!!!! He came in THIRD of his Varsity team – his coach had this to say:
The race was one of the best ever by a frosh at JHS.
He was 58th of about 150 guys. And Nana & Grandpa Z were there to watch him race! It was super!
Here’s a picture of Nicky and his teammates (#1 & 2 on Varsity) near the finish line – like the smile???
So now, XC at Jordan is over, but Nicky has signed up to run the Foot Locker South race on Sat, Nov 27. He is training on his own (with some guidance from the coach). The Foot Locker race is in Charlotte NC, about 2.5 hours away.
So, that’s the update. Will keep you updated as to the results of the Foot Locker race – Good Luck, Nicky!!!

Nick - you do not look at all like you are ready to vomit after crossing the finish line. You know what I am going to say.... But other than that, fantastic job!
Nick is entered in the freshman only race at Footlocker. This will pit Nick against runners from 13 other states in the southeastern US. Based on past results, Nick could be very competitive.
