1st Meet


The road to Boulder, CO, for what will be Austin's 1st meet as a Junior...

and he is off amidst a pack of over 250 JV runners from schools across the Metro area...



Oh what every runner despises--steep inclines! (Strategically placed cute girls are a pleasant race course distraction :)This one took him UP about 30yds, but the best is yet to come.....




Ahhhhh.....a long, 100 yard steep decline to the finish line.......




Our gazelle in his full sprint in his red and black Nike flats to the finish line...he eclipsed his PR (personal record) by 4 seconds on a difficult course and a very warm afternoon coming in at 21:46...the best is yet to come as he challenges himself to break 20:00...finished in the top 25% today of all racers and 3rd amongst his JV team--great job Ace!



A glorious race day comes to an end in Boulder.....
