Millika at Cross Country Quad Meet at Sugarhouse Park

Millika was in yet another Cross Country meet/race today and it was the first one Lincoln and I went to see. Since it was my birthday I could not think of a better way of spending it than cheering on one of our kids.

It was a Quad Meet which means there were 4 High School teams with around 60+ girls or so total. The race was 2.9 miles (4.65 KM) and it was on grass and up and down hills. It was at the Sugarhouse Park close to Salt Lake City and it is where the State Championship for Cross Country will be held this year.

Millika had been a little sick so I "pumped" her with Herbs (urte-pensil) just so she would at least not get any worse. She told me this morning that she was going to take first place today. I thought yea right.... But of course I did not say that to her :o)

Well how do you think she did....? Let just say I got to eat my thoughts and YES.... she DID take FIRST place today out of ALL the girls! She ran the 2.9 Miles in 19 min 53 sec and that is a personal best for her for now.

Remember that the girls made a pact that they would place in the top five individually... ? Well they did it today Woods Cross Teams took 1, 2 and 4 Place for the Girls and the Boys took 1, 2 and 3. Way to go!!!

Close to the finish line, Coach Sam is cheering Mille on. Do you see any other girls behind her? Maybe way back by those cars you can faintly see runner # 2 which Millika beat by 25 Seconds. Millika, you are a beast.... Way to go GIRL!! You can do this thing!!!

Makenzie (16 years old) ran in 20 min 24 sec (4th), Millika (14 years old) ran in 19 min 54 Sec (1st), Taylor (15 years old) ran in 20 min 18 sec (2nd). ALL Woods Cross High School Cross Country Girls Team. Amazing Race today!! You did it girls!! Keep up the awesome PACE!!!!
