Bonneville Bees XC 2012!

It's been another great season of Cross Country for Regan!  She had her best meet this season at the District meet at Freeman Park last week.  She placed 7th over all (4th on her team) which meant she qualified for state!  She left for Lewiston, ID, yesterday and will run in the State meet on Saturday at 12:30.  If it weren't 11 hours away and gas prices so stinking high, we'd be there in a heart beat!  I'm so proud of her accomplishments this season and really have to hand it to her for continuing to run even though she still battles with a lot of foot pain!
WE MADE IT TO STATE!!!!  This is Regan with one of her XC buddies (Kristy) who's a senior this year. They've challenged each other all season and both have made great improvement!  Regan's had a ball with all of the senior girls this year and will definetly miss them next season!  It's hard to believe that she only has 3 years left until she'll be in the same boat!  CRAZY!!
Kristy and Regan before the race, I think Reg was just a little bit nervous!:):)
This is another one of her Senior buddies! (Katy) Unfortunately, Katy got a concussion at the H.S. Powder Puff game so she was forced to end the season early. :(  Regan was sooo disappointed because these two were the best of friends this season!)  
Team prayer!  Every meet, just a few minutes before the race starts, the girls huddle together for a pep talk and a team prayer. It's a really neat thing to watch as a parent.  I'm so thankful for this great bunch of friends/teammates!
Getting mentally ready for the race and listening for last minute course instructions! 
Runner's take your mark, get set, GO! 
She's doing awesome....1/2 mile in to the race 
Working the hills...man, she did this beautifully! 
The big finish!  Seventh place in the District, and 4th place on her team!!  
Congratulations, Regan, on another awesome Cross Country season.  I can hardly wait to hear about all of her adventures at State this weekend!  The big race is tomorrow at 12:30!!

These are great pictures she'll treasure, Cindy. I know you practically run the whole course with her to take pictures, but it is so well worth it when you have them to post. She has such a talent for XC. Just glad she discovered that for herself!
