The third meet (#3) two weeks ago was cancelled due to extreme heat, so the kids ran the hills last Tuesday as their last and final meet.  I decided that I would like to watch Logan’s run the entirety, so I left work a bit earlier.  I was happy that I made it there on time and saw all the kids in the Open group lining up.  Logan spotted me too and waved to me.  It was so thrilling seeing the kids took off, at the whistle and I totally saw Logan sprinting.  He was proud and told me later that he was leading the group for some time at the beginning.  The group disappeared into the hills for awhile, then I started seeing some, including Logan, start crossing back to enter that big steep hill.  Most kids were walking up that hill, and afterward they were preparing the downhill finale to end the race.  Logan showed up not really that far behind the top runners.  I saw him trying to cross another runner, but that runner kept blocking him and Logan ended up crossing the finish line behind her.  Logan ranked #36 this time which was better again compared to the meet #2, so Logan was very excited.  He was exhausted and had to sit down to wait for Maxim finishing up.  The top runners from each grade would be representing the schools at the County Champion meet next week, but for the majority of the kids, this was the last meet.  Both Logan and Maxim enjoyed this season and both told me that they would do it again next year.  They will be having an end of season gathering next Friday.
