Run Matty, Run!

 
Matty finished his final season of XC with a team banquet this past Thursday. Matty actually had his best year & earned a varsity letter for his effort! YAY!!! This comeback was especially sweet since he had to sit out his junior year to recover from micro-fracture surgery.
Proud athlete!
 
 
Senior boys receiving their awards.
The banquet ended with a senior tradition. The seniors say something about the other members of the team with the teammate's name, followed by 'most likely to.' I have to say, as a parent I have always dreaded this tradition as there have been many horribly cruel comments in the past. This year I was pleasantly surprised! There were no mean spirited or rude comments. This says so much about this group of seniors!
Reading 'most likely to...'

This wonderful lady is Karen Goritski. She is the assistant coach for the team. She is an amazing woman & the biggest cheerleader for the kids! We will miss her lots!

Great job, Matty! We are so proud of you!!!

XC Season!

Today was Matty's first XC meet of the season. 21 teams competed at Hudson's Bay HS. It was 94* outside, but you would never know it by the way those kids ran.
I love the heat & I was wilting!

Camas did great & Matty ran his heart out!


Matty has 'stepped it up' so much, that his XC coach made him 'captain' for this first meet! Yay Matty!

Warm ups

Practice run
Here is the start of the Freshman/Sophomore race. Go Camas!!

The finish line! GO MATTY GO!!

Go Matty, Go!

Matty is on the Camas XC team this year. The team is off to a great start! Statewide, the girls are ranked 7th & the boys 12th. The goal is for the boys to reach 7th as well. Tuesday was the first home meet. Camas dominated! Run Matty, Run!

Almost to the finish line!

One exhausted boy.

Matty shaved an incredible 6 minutes off his last time at this same course. It was enough for the coach to bump Matty up to the harder race this weekend.

Here are the final team scores— Skyview 21, Heritage 34; Camas 15, Hudson’s Bay 50.
In XC, the lowest score wins. Good job Papermakers!!
