Jaron~All League Cross Country Meet~Placed 18th out of 75~8th Grade Boys!!

At the start of the race - There were so many boys - and at this point of the race - it was really narrow - and alot of them were fighting for position resulting in some of them falling - luckily Jaron didn't fall - although he came close, but he caught himself before he did fall.



Getting into his stride.
He ran a very consistent race. His last coach taught him how to pace himself and surge up hills and breath right during different stages of the race. He has so much endurance! He can keep the same pace forever - and that really helps him stay consistent in races.  He says the longer the distance, the better he feels like he runs.  He was frustrated in Track last spring because the longest distance race they had for middle schoolers to run was the mile - and he said he didn't like it because it was too short.  He said he started feeling like he was hitting his stride right at the end of the mile race.  He likes longer distances.  I think he will do even better next year when he can run the 3 mile in High School.

Me up on a hill looking down.
