Emma's Cross Country Season

9/26/2018

Emma had a fantastic cross season this year. She improved drastically from last year and was one of the fastest girls on her middle school team right behind Bethany (7th grade) and Lauren (8th grade). All of the courses were 1.5 miles. I wasn't able to be there for her first meet at Elizabeth HS since I was still in Switzerland but Grandma Anne and Grandpa Franz were there. This is the only meet I don't actually have her finish time. Luckily, I was able to be there for all the other meets and I was so impressed every time with how strong she looked. She ended up being ahead of girls that had passed her last year like her friend Mikayla and her Kokopelli teammate Eliza. Madeline loved being able to go and watch Emma run. She would say, "Go Emma Go." It was the cutest thing ever. Emma started her second meet with a time of 11:35 and finished her season with a time of 10:21. Her fastest time was during the 4th meet with a time of 10:12. I can't wait to see how fast she continues to get as she matures and puts in more time into her training.
