Region Championship at Cottenwood 2013

Millika had one of the most important races today it was  the Region Championship and boy did we miss McKaythere! I remembered back to last year when he and Kyle were both there seeing the race right before Kyle left on his mission. It was a little different this year but guess who came and were Millika's good luck charm instead of McKay ??? Garret, yep you read it right :o) Can you believe that?

He came and saw her race, he even cheered for her even-though he said he would just be her good luck charm and not cheer. He stayed to see the varsity boys run, also saw the awards and then even drove her home. THAT is a good luck charm for sure :o) He is a cute kid and he was so sweet with her. AND YES she did take FIRST of course ;o) and she ran in the time of 18 min 21 sec for the 3 mile course. She was ahead the whole race and ran the last 2 miles all by her self. That is one of the hardest ways to race because it is just you and the clock. So she did not run in under 18 minutes like I tough but she did pretty dang good :o)

It will be better at State where there will be girls to push her and drive her along the way. Sam (her coach) is thinking that she will take one of the top places at State so that is going to be fun to see.

 Ready set go and they are off to a great start!!

 Garret, Millika, Jon and Chris. Great friends!!!

Millika, Kim and Evangelina :o) 

Region Champion and a great time of 18 min 21 seconds. Not bad at all!!
