Way to go Lance!!

Jill and I left my parent's house at 6:30am on saturday morning!! We had a blast on the trip ... sang Shania Twains greatest hits cd to make the time go by!! We were there around 10:15AM, which was in the midde of the 1A girls race!

Wall girls team also made it ... so we got to watch them! Their top runner crossed the finish line a split second after the 1st place runner! It was so close, that everyone was looking at each other asking who won! But then again, she is only a sophmore ... so hopefully she will return next year!!

Getting ready to begin their last race of the season ...

Almost done ...
Lance passed that Wall kid right in front of him at the finish line!!
About 30 minutes after their race, we were waiting around for the results (although we were pretty certain they had won it) ... then all of sudden they started yelling! They WON!! I was so excited for Lance!!

They beat the 2nd place team by 42 points!! :) Those positions are after they took out the individual runners ... Lance placed 24th overall!! Pretty Dang Awesome for a Freshman at State!!

The Wall Girls placed 3rd as a team! 2nd place had 72 points ... while Wall got 73 points!! Too close!!

Pretty exciting to have both your boys and girls cross country team make it to state!!

Standing on the podium with his fellow teammates ...

Receiving their Gold Medals ...

Lance is trying to get used to the heavy gold medal around his neck ... I believe this is why I didn't not get a smile out of him in the group pictures!!




Uncle Ronnie, Lance and Aunt Becky


Trey had to pick Heather and Abi up at the airport in Austin later that evening ... so he was able to kill 2 bids with one stone!!
Jill, Lance and I ...

All in all, it was a great trip ... and couldn't have ended better! :)

The shirt came from my mom's cousin who lives in Dallas. So I don't really know.
