The public schools system  that Matt and Kyra go to offer an awesome cross country program in the fall for 1-6 grade. Kyra, in kindergarten was able to participate because her older brother was running.

The kiddos had a blast. They love to run. They had 2 zonal races with other schools in their area. Then, if they qualified, they ran All-City - where all kiddos within a certain time for their race, compete. It's thousands of kids and lots of fun.

Here are some photos of this season. They did great and had fun!

Their legs were too tired to walk to the car after the first rae! good thing dad can do piggy-backs!

Matt and Kyra with a good buddy.

I love this picture of Matt racing along the 1 mile course through the trees.

Here is Kyra at All-City. She is running with first graders - they are about a head taller than her. 

Here's Matt at the start of the fourth grade boys at All City. He is center left in the bright green shirt.
