Eamon's 1st Cross Country season

It was exciting to have Eamon join Craig and I in our love for running this summer. Eamon decided in June that he would like to run cross country. Craig was a good trainer for him, he had him running 4 days a week for most of the weeks this summer. The official cross country practices started in mid-August. The first meet was held at Montevideo Middle School. It was a very hot day!

Here is the Pence line-up for the first meet.
You could usually find Eamon and Jake running about the same pace.

For the first meet, Eamon placed 3rd!!


Eamon missed the team's first invitational of the season, but he was able to run in the THMS invitational which was the last race of the season. It was another hot day with no rain since the first meet several weeks before. Eamon ran well, he finished 7th overall in this race (out of approx 125 boys) and recieved a medal.
Congratulations Eamon to a great 1st cross country season!!!

  1. Congratulations Eamon! You certainly are falling into your parents footsteps!

    I found it interesting the difference in the color of grass from the first pictures to the last one. We did need some rain!
