XC

yesterday was said to be "one of the greatest days in BIXC history".
Haha, anyway, yesterday was a pretty good day.
I went to school.
Went to 1st period.
Went to advisory. (homeroom)
Then I LEFT!!
I had a XC meet about 3 hours away so we got to leave very early :)
So we rode on the bus for three hours.
I sat in the front with the coaches.
We got a charter bus because XC is priority at our school. JUST KIDDING! I'm not quite sure why we got a charter bus...
So we got to watch a movie!
About how running a marathon is a life-changing experience.
One of my coaches ad just run a maarthon.
the movie was better than i expected. I got pretty into it, especially when the Kenyan guy, daniel something, lost :(
all in all it was rather inspiring and got me pumped.
When we finally got to Newport News we were very early. So we got to hang around for a long time.
Then we finally raced.
I dont really know details. i wasnt really paying attention i was just running.
I ended up getting 10th overall in JV.
OK, but good cause i got a medal :)
Other Ireton JV girl runners got 4, 6, 7, and 8.
Some JV boys got 1st, and 4th
SOOO.. as a team JV girls got 1st and JV boys got either 1st or 2nd.
When i took off my spikes and gross wet socks i discovered that my already gross toenail was on the cusp of falling off!! so i had to tape it up (by the way, if you wanted to know, when i got home and took off the tape it came off :P)
After that i managed to catch part of the Varsity girls race. Our top runner got 4th and some other people placed top 15 (a lot were like 16-19 but top 15 gets medals) They ended up getting runner-up (2nd)
Then the exciting one... varsity boys!
We got 4 in the top 15, and some others close. One of those four happened to have gotten 1st with a time of 16:37! It was still gonna be close though.
At the award ceremony they went through JV, Varsity Girls, and Varsity Boys Individual.
They said the 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd teams.
"And now, the virginia state catholic cross country runner-up is................................................."
"penninsula catholic1" We bust into cheers! WE GOT FIRST!!
first time in 20 years exactly.
our coaches were on the verge of tears.
so basically we dominated.
