Great fun at the Middle School Cross Country Meet

How many runners can you find in the picture above?

Congratulations to the Pattonville Middle School runners and their Coaches for good times and hard running at the first official Pattonville Middle School Cross Country Meet. Eigth grade runners from Heights, Holman and Remington schools competed against each other in a girls and boys race. The morning was full of Cross Country goodness with cool temps, heavy fog and a course with just enough sogginess to make it fun. Excellent job Middle schoolers. Keep on running and we hope to see you as part of our team next year. We will be in touch ;-)
Special thanks to Mr. Schnatmeier for arranging an excellent meet and for starting a middle school cross country program. Thanks also to Coach Brown, Coach Lancaster, and Coach Walker for building and training your respective middle school teams. Nice work to all!
Finally, I also want to thank our own cross country team for arriving early on a saturday , helping run the meet and then following it up with a quality workout. Your work was greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoyed the "other side of a meet" as much as I did. Today you made an investment in the team in more than one way.
