BYU Triple Crown 2008

Liam participated in the BYU Triple Crown (race for elementary schools) on Sept. 24th and his 5th grade team took first place. There were probably 35 or so kids in his race. Liam came in 12th overall. He ran the mile in 7 min. 18 sec. When he ran at school he came in 3rd in the school and ran it in 6:44. The BYU track had a few small hills so all the kids were a bit slower. I'm hoping that he will keep running. I was so worried since this was Liam's first official race, but he did very well.

I was talking to another mom and we realized that if our kids keep doing track there will always be one kid their age that will beat them. There was a kid that ran it in 6 mins. flat. I couldn't believe it. He was WAY ahead.
