Finally, we get a chance to see Layne run cross country with her college team. The University of Montana Grizzlies. We left Spokane about 6:15 AM and headed to Lewiston. The drive was a little over two hours and so worth it!!! We have missed seeing Layne run cross country. Well, truthfully we have must missed Layne period. We parked and started walking to the meet and who did we see warming up. The Montana Grizzlies Ladies!
There they go! What a fabulous setting.
Lucy was bothered with the bugs in the area. We thought she was trying to avoid getting her picture taken but it was the bugs.
Not sure how this was helping avoid bugs!!!
While we wait for the completion to start we had some gymnastics entertainment.
Here they go, the women's race. I wasn't sure where the Montana crew lined up but as they got closer Kristin told me they were on the side way from us.
A beautiful backdrop!
I did manage to find Layne in this picture and in the next picture. Lucky.
Kristin and I positioned ourselves close to the finish line. We didn't want to get too far away from it and miss the finish. These young ladies are faster than we are. They looped around 3 times so we got to watch Layne's progress closely.
I took pictures of her teammates when I could!
Teammates!
Layne looked so strong throughout the race!
Teammates.
I grabbed a couple of pictures from the Grizzly website.
Layne's goal was to finish sub 19 minutes. As you can see she crushed that goal. 18:24!!! Kristin, Justin and I were pretty excited. Mike was in another spot but I know he was cheering her on. High fives and SHE DID IT all around!!!! There were some teary eyes too. This was a great moment!!! So proud of Layne and how hard she works to achieve the goals she sets!
Here are some more teammates. Sorry I don't know their names.
Some pictures contributed by Kristin and Mike
