Nicky and a few of his friends traveled to Charlotte for the Footlocker Freshman Race on Friday, November 26th. We drove to the course to let the boys run it before the actual race the next morning. We then went to check in to our hotel and get the boys checked in for the race.
The freshman race was the second race of the day, and started at 8:30am. We had to get there pretty early to give the boys time to warm up. It was pretty chilly, but it was clear and the sunrise was pretty.
Here are some pictures of Nicky at the starting line and during the race.
Nick ran a 17:14 (PR by 1 second) and finished 36th out of 155 freshman runners. Nick will tell you that he learned a lot during the race and that the course is too flat, and he'd rather have a few hills.
Here are Nick and his buddies after the race.
Nick had a very good season and won the Best New Runner award at the season ending banquet. We're very proud of him!
Now it's on to winter track (which is outdoor here in NC) and then track season.

hay dad i think you got some stuff wrong... ;)
Jojo, what did he get wrong?
This is just another post that proves I'm a wimpy runner - I'm no good at the hills, I'd rather have everything flat. Good job Nick!
