WXHS Cross Country Team at Foot Locker Race in Walnut in California

Millika was gone for 4 days this week to California with most of the WXHS Cross Country Team. They went down there to compete in the National West Region Foot Locker Race in Walnut, California. 10+ States were represented in the races and many, many runners at very different ages and levels were there!

Millika was put in the Freshman/Sophomore race (9th and 10th graders) and there were 264 girls in it. The course was VERY hard with many hills and is was 3.1 miles (5 KM). Millika was so ready for the race and was looking forward to a new challenge. Millika ran the course in 21 min 14 sec not her personal best but still not too bad compared to how hard the course was.

This is Millika and 3 friends the night before the race. Very relaxed and just having fun!! 

 This is part of the course. LOOK at that MONSTER HILL. Crappy Pictures but it gives a feel for how hard this race really was.

And here Millika is. She placed 11th out of the Freshman Girls and 23rd over all in her race of 264 girls. She came in FIRST from all the girls at WXHS and all in all she had a great race day.

And the fun after. Disneyland with all the WXHS runners and coaches. A great ending on a super good day!

I would have LOVED to have been there to see Mille race but not this time!! We love you Peeps. You are fantastic!
