XC Banquet

Sigh.  It's always a bittersweet night.  Nobody really wants to admit that the season is over, but it is.  However, the running Broncos can hold their heads high as they have shown the school that they were the strongest sport during the fall season with both girls and boys qualifying for Sectionals and a girl going to State.  But it's funny how none of that seemed that important tonight.  Because I think we all know it's really about the relationships that are built during the season.  The laughter, tears, and inside jokes abound, and will continue on throughout the remainder of the school year.

Thanks again to Mr. Goffron for all of his efforts and for honoring the athletes in the way that he did.

It's been a great year!

 Enjoying the food and fellowship.

Time for awards and acknowledgement and a few good laughs!

Let's see how many of the awards I can remember (my recollection is not exhaustive by any means...just one per person!)

Party Animal!!!

[I could not remember the name of Kobe's awards, so I asked Mr. G.  But of course I did not write down the answer at that time and promptly forgot it.  It had something to do with a mid-season signing, referring to Kobe's late arrival to the team.  But I'll just rename it to, "Tu eres fantastico!"  (because Kobe and I have enjoyed a few conversations in Spanish.)]

"He's with the trainer!"

We need you!!!

Most annoying sound

"He's (also) with the trainer!"

Most improved (Girls)

I finally know how to breathe while I run!
