Layne's Cross Country at Lakeside 10-2022

A big meet with a lot of schools and we all were so thrilled with Layne's race!  Shoelace preparation here. 
The girls getting ready at the start line.  Look for the yellow sweatshirts.  

Each race the girls warm up before the race and then briefly at the start line. 


It's go time!




I love the look on Layne's face in this picture.  You have enlarge it to really see the look.  It was a look of determination and strength! That is how she ran the whole race. 
I have not been freed to run or jog yet. I just pick a couple of places that I know I can make it too for pictures.  This picture cracks me up.  The girls just got done climbing a hill.  Layne is covered by hair. 
I did manage to get her in a picture. 
Each time we saw her we all commented about how strong she looked and how good she was running.  


I got Kristin in this picture!
The final lap.  The girl in front of her was not finishing the race.  She had another lap to go.  I circled her coach in the background. 
The finish.  Layne finished so strong and in third place out of 75 girls!  



Whew!!
Layne was so excited about how the race went and so were we.  At one point she said,"Let's GO!"  I thought she wanted to go but NOPE.  She was excited and ready to do this again.  I wish I could describe the atmosphere around her and around all of us afterwards.  Her coach talked to us afterward and he was just as excited for what is to come for Layne. 
The support crew. 
From the right to the left, the top 10 finishers! (I think it was the top 10. The picture doesn't show everyone).
