Summer Cross Country

I love coaching the summer running program for Bonneville and Rocky Mountain. This year was the biggest group of kids we've had! They are so fun, dedicated, and hard working! I love getting to know the majority of the xc team before the season starts, and I love watching them and cheering for them throughout the season. They are awesome kids!

Our first day of summer practice was rainy, windy, and super cold! I was surprised we had so many kids show up! Despite the weather, they worked hard and got in a great workout!
Our most popular practice is the Disc Golf Races! It was a great success this year! Matt and Kyle were our HS winners, Everette and Kai got second place, and Bailey and Hannah were third.
Seth and Jessica were our MS winners!
Matt and Kyle won the coveted pineapples this year! 
All of our disc golf competitors. Although this is a fun practice, it's also super hard!
Our most unpopular practice of the summer is at the sand dunes! It doesn't matter how good of shape you're in, this practice kicks everyone's butt! These kids did awesome!
This year was BY FAR the biggest watermelon run we've ever had! Congratulations to The Mighty Turnips for a nice victory!
The Gnarly Nutmegs
Yay for watermelon!
This was a sad day! It was Mason's last practice. He helped me coach all summer, but he was leaving the next day to serve his mission. 
Last day of summer practice! Games and donuts!
Bailey and Dylan were missing Mason, so we took some pictures to send him!
End of the summer backyard movie night and s'mores! They watched Princess Bride.
 I'm gonna miss seeing these kids so often, but I'm excited to watch them all compete! Let the season begin!!!
