Garret is running cross country at Horizon. He is really enjoying it. His coaches are Matt Hildahl and Tiffany Florez. For practice they do fartleks, run on the Appleway Trail, run in Dishman Hills, run around the school and the track, and more!
The first meet was a Jamboree with the 5 other middle schools in the district. It was at CV. Garret ran the mile and a half in 11:36 and got 9th for all of the 7th grade boys.
The 2nd meet was at Horizon North. It was against Greenacres Middle School. Garret ran the mile and a half in 10:21 and got 7th place for the 7th grade boys. His team won the meet for the 7th grade boys. Garret ran against his basketball buddy Jack Florence today.
Garret spit at the end of the meet and got it all over his face. Very talented.
Garret's super fan-his mom! Go Garret. I also got to be a course monitor and make sure that no one cut the corners.
His 3rd meets was again Selkirk, and they ran at Pavilion Park in Liberty Lake. It was a hard course with lots a turns and hills. Everyone's times were much slower. Garret ran his mile and a half in 12:28. He got 4th place for the 7th grade boys.
Garret's 4th meets was again Bowdish. His quad muscles were very sore, but he still pushed through and beat his best time by 5 seconds. His mile and a half time was 10:16, 6th place for the 7th grade boys. (Look at the pictures closely. He making some great faces.)
Garret's 5th meet was against North Pines and the race was at Terrace View park. It was a very flat course with not a lot of turns so Garret was determined to get a PR. He really wanted to get under 10 minutes. He got 9:59. He pushed so hard at the end. It was so cool to watch him working so hard.
Meet again Evergreen at Mirabeau Park.
We missed Garret's All Valley meet because we were on our cruise. The meet was at CV, the place where the 1st Jamboree meet was. Garret improved his time from his first race by
