So Cooper had his first ever cross country meet on Saturday.
Let me tell you, that was quite an experience.
The parking alone was nuts!!!
I believe the meet was what we would call "organized chaos"!!! People EVERYWHERE! And you have to remember, we've never done this before, so we just junped right in not knowing what to do!! We finally got Cooper where he needed to go just in time. They lined up all the boys in grades K-3. the course was so curvy that the kids followed a guy in a Mule.
They ran a 1/2 mile. After it was over, they were handed a card with where they placed. I ran up to cooper and asked what number he got. He said " a 6 and a 5 mama!!!" Ooohh, #65? Not bad for your first offficial meet!
Awards are given out to the first ten who place, so we loaded up and headed home! He said he had fun and was ready to do it again!!This meet was an invitational, so he had to run with 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. Normally they would divide up among grade level. When that happens, those poor kids aren't going to know what blew past them when Cooper takes off!
