Olivia has aged out of rec sports. I still want her to stay somewhat active, so I told her that I wanted her to try out for at least one school athletic team this year. She decided to try out for the cross country team, and she made it. At the first meet, she finished about 30th out of about 60 runners. I was surprised that she did so well because she's never run like this before. As the season went on, she got better and better. She was one of the seven runners on her team to go to the conference championship where she had her best time of the season and finished 20th. Her team finished in third place at every single meet all season long, but at the conference meet they finished second and received the runner-up trophy. All of that practice and running in the heat paid off, and the girls were so excited. Olivia is now enthusiastic about running and is looking forward to trying out for the team again next year. This has been a great experience for her.
