celebrating a great season

now that the cross country season has come to an end

we had the official banquet

the freshman clean up nice ...

 they decided they wanted a picture of the 'blue shirts'

and THEY organized themselves in this order ;)

it was such a fun season for the boys

and for us parents :)

we had a nice dinner

and coach karel did a great job of including everyone in the night

even the young guys

ben was given the spotlight on academics

for maintaining a high GPA while participating in a sport

way to go, ben!

we are SO proud of you.
