What a season!! These girls are so strong, determined, and self motivated!
They won every meet they went to, except one, the Islander Splash in Corpus against Boerne by just a few points. They were really hoping to get top 3 at the State Meet and worked their butts off to get there....
Feast Invitational - 1st as a Team
12th Individually
McNeil Invitational - 1st as a Team
15th Individually
Islander Splash - 2nd Place Team
McNeil Invitational - 1st as a Team
There were many others too...Floresville, Karnes City, Poth Meet, etc!! They won them all!
Now time for District....
We had a family pot luck at the VFW for all the JH & HS teams, plus their families.
We decorated their lockers!!
The school cheered them on with cool media designs...
And they joined together as a team to pray...
They ran their best...
District Champions!! Katelyn placed 2nd in District. They scored a perfect score of 15 - top 5 runners in the district!
She has the best fan club...
Up next was Regionals at Corpus Christie A&M:
We had a surprise send off the morning before school, so the boys were able to come help. It was so fun to see all their faces as they drove past us hanging out the bus. We had signs and glow sticks galore!
1st place team in the Region
Katelyn - 5th place individually at Regionals (1st place Freshman in the region)
Getting prepped for the STATE Meet:
More cool media from Poth ISD
They had a team movie night at watched MacFarland...a cross country movie!
Team Breakfast the day before the meet.
The school had a big send off for the girls down bus alley. Pre-K thru 12th grade came out to the road to cheer them on as they drove off to Roundrock! The band played, the cheerleaders cheered, and there was fire trucks and policeman leading the way! It was so special!
Once they got there, they ran the course and enjoyed time together as a team.
We arrived the next day bright and early. The boys found the playground while we waited for the race to start!
Katelyn and the whole team ran their absolute hardest. But some days are not your day. They had a tough race and didn't finish the way the wanted to. Although, their times weren't too far off from earlier in the season, they were down enough to push them out from medaling.
They got 7th as a team.....in the STATE!! Which is still pretty amazing! They were disappointed though and are already scheming for next year and gearing up for track season too. They will be back, better and stronger!
Katelyn could barely stand after the race. She puked a few times (which she's never done before).
She truly gave it her all and we are so proud!
I missed a few people that came to watch, because it took Katelyn awhile to recover. We didn't take pictures like normal, but we are so thankful for these "aunts" - Cindy was there too, along with Mimi, Pops, Pappy, & Kyler (not pictured, but present)!
A few photos of articles from this season, I hope I didn't miss any....
