We are already at the end of cross country season.  It’s short!  Jake ended up loving it and doing really well.  There were a total of 3 meets and he finished 2nd, 1st, & 3rd.  I’d call that a success!

Yesterday was the final meet of the season – the All City Meet at Johnson County Community College first thing in the morning.  This includes runners from all 9 Olathe Area Middle Schools and that is a whole lot of kids!This is very close to the start of the race and Jake is in the orange shoes again…Here he is at the finish and pushes past his good buddy, Jake Robinson, to come in 3rd place out of 140 runners!We are so very proud of you Jake!  We love that you tried something new and had such success in the process!

Right after this incredible effort,  he invited himself to breakfast with Nanny & Papa and then competed in an intense soccer tourney game.  I don’t know how these kiddos have all this energy!  Maybe it’s the smoothies and pancakes!?Not so successful in the soccer arena this weekend.  Boo.  We had 3 kids playing in the CSI soccer tourney, 9 games, and 9 losses.  Whew…I’m glad that’s over!  Better luck next time!
