Cross-country meet today -- oldest boy is a freshman and tends to run
with the JV (Junior Varsity) team. There are three levels, and
runners have to requalify before each and every meet (once on varsity
doesn't mean always on varsity. The results from this meet determine
standings for next meet). Three levels - Varsity, JV, and Open. The
first seven times get varsity next meet, the second seven get JV,
everyone else runs open. So, not many spots available for the two
competitive qualifications.

Anyway, through a fluke of illness, Lucas qualified during the last
meet to run Varsity this week (two of their super-fast runners were
sick, so he placed 7th). Ran today with the varsity teams and came in
29th overall (7th for his school) -- 29th place out of 23 *Schools*
running (not sure how many runners, total). Shaved 17 seconds off of
last weekend's 5K time and came in at 17:53.

Not bad for one of the new guys!

Proud of my boy, I am (plus, he's keeping an "A" in both biology and
geometry).
