Freshman Track Season

Sarah had such a good freshman track season. Just like XC, she enjoyed rich friendships, loads of laughter and fun, excellent coaching and training and guidance and mentoring, and personal success! She continued to PR at consecutive meets, in all 3 events that she rotated between. In the end, she qualified for Tri-Districts in the 3200m (by time, not place) which was a great experience for her as a freshman. She’s a fighter – so I hope if & when she is ever injured, her fighting character and quiet spirit will combine to help her handle that with grace. In the meantime, the fighting character and quiet spirit have helped her graciously be a leader on these two sports teams and I am loving every minute of watching her grow into a woman of God’s design.

Getting ready to run the 1600m at her last home meet – the District finals

In the middle of the pack – she had a great finish, taking over two runners in the last 100m to earn a 9th place finish. I was too busy cheering to get pictures of that, though.

While Sarah is minutely taller than I am, I never really consider her tall…until she stands next to these teammates. We love them, anyway.
