Although Logan ran in his first home meet last weekend, he had his first official XC invitational today at Bellarmine Prep High School in Tacoma. Since he has ran in this meet the previous two years with his running club, it was nice to return to a course that he is familiar with. Since he finished in the top seven runners last week at his home meet, he was the only freshman that qualified to run in the Varsity race which is quite an accomplishment. I was able to go and cheer him on and was amazed that he stayed in the middle of the pack the entire time. He finished the two mile course in 11:40 which was amazing. He got several compliments from his coaches and teammates afterwards. I am so proud of how hard Logan is training with his team and his resilience in running these difficult courses. Well done, Logan!
Although I wasn't there for the freshman race since it was a few hours before Logan's Varsity race, one of the moms gathered all of the 9th grade boys together for a group photo. Many of these boys are some of Logan's closest friends. It is so wonderful that he can share this sport with them.
The Varsity group huddle that I managed to snap a picture of before their race began. Logan's back is the one directly facing me.

Almost there!
One of Logan's closest friends, Kasen, made Logan his own poster that said, "What's Up Shawty? You're On Varsity!" Since Logan always says, "What's up, Shawty," to his friends, Kasen made him this funny poster to cheer him on in the Varsity race which was so thoughtful of him.
