Lisle High School
The rain held off! The final forecast was for precipitation in the afternoon and we're glad that this was one of those times that the weatherman was actually right! It was warmer than normal for this particular meet; I guess someone forgot to remind the month of October that it's suppose to be chilly by now! But of course, we're not complaining.
In spite of not earning a single medal, you could still say that both the boys and the girls were Number One today. Really!!
(We were assigned Box #1 at the Starting Line.

Lots of runners in every race. It was another big meet. It really was a spectator-friendly course, giving us several opportunities to cheer on our runners. Plus, it's quite pretty!
There were several messages written on the ground for the runners along the course.
