Cross country running

This is Margaret, Anna and Martha before the Sherman 5K race on Sept. 12

Here is a group picture of all the Spartans that ran in Sherman! Several Spartans received medals for their fast times!

We are in a busy season right now in Cross Country. The Spartans ran in the Sherman 5K last Saturday, Sept. 12 and this past Saturday, the Junior Varsity and Varsity runners (grades 7-12) ran in the Saltillo XC invitational.

Here Anna is finishing the Sherman 5K (3.1 miles). She beat her time from her first race by 5 minutes! Good job Anna!

This is our Varsity Boys team who competed at the Saltillo XC meet. They all did a great job!


The Varsity girls did an outstanding job at the meet. Since we are homeschoolers, our girls can't compete as a team, but if they had been able to, they would have won 1st place overall at the Saltillo XC meet - way to go girls!!! Can you tell by their legs how muddy the race was?

It rained off and on all day and the course was a pure mud bog in places and the runners had to slosh through and on one of the hills they had to pull themselves up by their hands!!

Here is a shot of some of the runners before the race at the Saltillo XC meet, BEFORE the mud!

These are some of the teams ready to race. I am not sure which group this is.
