Awesome job girl!!!!

We are almost done the XC season. Next weekend is the final meet. However, so far, the ultimate XC meet was this one!!!! To give you a frame of reference. Last year, at this very same meet, EP ran a time of 17:04.61. Now considering this was a solid 4 minutes off of her time at the beginning of the season, this was good. The fact
that she had run her best time and had taken 4 minutes off was fantastic. This year she has improved quite a bit ... oh yeah, hang on. The time last year allowed her to place 58th out of 82 runners. Okay, now where was I? Oh yes! This year EP has been trying to really push herself and improve on her running as well as her times and she has set herself the goal of keeping up with and beating the one girl on her team who gets first place. So how did it all turn out??? Well, hang on a sec, I'll tell you ... her time? 14:52.35 (which in itself is AWESOME, especially since her time goal this year was to break 15 minutes. Where did that put her? Well it was good enough to beat the girl on her team that usually comes first. Yeah it was only by 3 seconds ... but she DID it! So that placed her first on her team. So how does that compare to everyone else you ask? There were 83 runners, almost the same exact number as last year ... and she ended up 16!!!!! Freaking 16 out of 83!!!!! How awesome is THAT!!!!!! Way to go Mongoose !!!!!
