December 13 - XC Districts

Two days after returning from the robotics competition, Luke had cross country districts. We were not sure if he would be allowed to participate since he missed two meets and almost every practice due to robotics, but the coach allowed him to run. The kids run in two different groups. The top 6 runners from every school run in the elite division and the rest of the kids run in the open division. Luke ran in the open division and did great (especially considering he hasn't practiced in about a month). 70th place out of 150! Very proud. 

Now that we know the XC season has been shortened to 4 weeks (compared to 3 months when Julia ran in middle school), he won't do it next year due to the robotics conflict. Next up, he's trying out for the golf team (tryouts are in January). And his school came in 2nd place for the XC meet, their highest finish in 10+ years. Go Timberwolves!
