Roving Reporters Hit Apple Ridge Again

Our roving reporters are at it again, this time returning to Yakima to watch Heather participate in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships on Saturday, October 24th. Friday night, Poppop and Jean were invited to attend the banquet with Heather and her friend Becca.

Poppop, Jean and Heather at the Banquet. Heather you look so nice! (We are so used to seeing you in running T-Shirts....looks like someone else got to it before you.)

Heather first time around looking great..........

A proud grampa noticing that Heather was ahead of his boss' daughter running for NNU #25. Go Heather!!!

Heather 3rd time by........

Coming in for the finish.......

From what we hear, Heather woke up late, ate breakfast one hour before the race, and then promptly proceeded to get a cramp during the race. She finished 44th in a time 24:44 (6K.) Oh well, let this be a lesson to be sure to get up in plenty of time before a race!

Heather and Becca with the Mascot.......hmmm, funny how the mascot changes teams/colors; being both a Nanook and a Malemute which I guess morphs into a Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix!

A group photo - and what a group!

Thanks again to Poppop and Jean for the great photos, cheering on the team, and for the apples which are greatly appreciated (and are so juicy!)
