Westmont High School

It was a smaller meet for us today, which is a nice break from some of our previous competitions.  Congrats to the boys today for taking second place overall.  You represented Walther well and are shaping up to be a force that needs to be contended with.

(I thought I had picked a good spot for pictures, but the lighting was a bit strange and didn't provide me with the best quality, so I apologize for the fuzzyness of some of the photos.)

Enjoy!

I learned something new today...there's a scenic area including a pond in back of the school.  Who knew!? (Well, the runners have known, but I never realized it before.  Beautiful area.)



Warm-up instructions.








Final prayer with the coach before the girls run.

Girls first...

There were only 36 runners today.


                                         OFF THEY GO!



1/2 of the race was in the open sun, and the rest was in this shady area surrounding the pond.





Final time:  25:44

Finished in 26:19

28:54
(Thanks to the girls who added time to their runs in order to check on a fallen comrade!)

Next up, the Boys!

The boys had 39 runners competing today.
