Hanna is on the Scappoose High School Cross Country team. On Thursday, Oct 2nd, SHS XC participated in the Trojan Relays against 9 other schools. The SHS girl's team came in #1 and their star runner, Jenny Elder, posted the best time for any of the girls; the boys team came in at #3. We went to this meet because Wednesday night Hanna said that the bus was going to take the team to the meet, but had to leave right away and would not be there to bring them back to the school when the meet was over. We thought that was weird, but told Hanna were would be happy to come to the meet to watch her run and bring her home afterward.
Apparently Summer and the nice warm days officially ended as of Oct 1st, as it was pouring rain as the meet started. Fortunately the rain had stopped by the time Hanna was up to run her leg of the race and a beautiful rainbow came out.
One boy from another school came across the finish line, minus his right shoe - I bet there is a neat story about how he came to lose a shoe during the race. Everyone was pretty muddy from running in the soggy grounds of Trojan Park. DeeDee and I had a good time watching the kids just being kids and then watching them race.
The photos are of Hanna and her friend Brittney as they get ready for their turn at the starting line.
