Today Parker ran in his last cross country race of the season. He had a great season and consistently finished in the top 20 runners . There were usually about 125-150 boys in his age group so finishing in the top 20 was a huge accomplishment. His personal best was coming in 5th place at the Covington XC Meet. The Smith MS 7th grade boys team finished in 1st place at every meet except today's district meet where they finished 2nd.
Parker really enjoyed running and is planning on being on the team again next year. It was fun to watch him run every week and cheer him and his friends, Kayden and Kaden, on at each race. I'm so proud of his hard work, dedication (he had to be at school every morning at 6:30am for practice) and improvement throughout the season.
Unfortunately, cross country is not a very wheelchair friendly sport, so Cory was not able to go to watch Parker race. Thankfully, I was able to make it to every race and cheer him on!
5th place finisher!
