2008 Region VI Cross Country Championships

The stage for the Region VI Cross Country Running was set on a very cold morning September 27th. Not much breakfast was eaten as the nerves were running high and warmer clothes were being sought after. The JV teams had run the previous day so there was not much waiting around time, just warm up and go. Despite the cold, we even got Steve out there for some suberb video taping.

And they are off..........
