Alright, so I realize that I created this blog on account of wanting the world to know about our fun high school team, but I cannot exclude mentioning our "feeder program" as well, the Sandy River summer track and cross country teams (Fr. Katherine Gunther, our current #2 girl runner, has recently come to us from the program). Here's a brief background on the program: My parents are go-getters, so when the Farmington Rec.
AND the Mt. Blue Middle School decided to both discontinue their running programs, they were naturally furious. The reasoning for shutting down both programs was for lack of participation, so it was natural that they would decide to make budget cuts in those areas. Several years later, my parents, as well as help from parents of the young athletes on the team, have turned the programs around, more than doubling the participation of each program. I help as a volunteer coach (in fact, it's volunteer work for everyone). The middle school-aged team went from having two girls on it, to having a State Champion girls team over the course of a year. Props, girls!
Below are some pictures taken at the recent USATF Youth Summer Track State Meet.
