Clayton's First Cross Country Meet

Clayton is on the Hanscom Falcons Cross Country team (5th-8th grade). He loves it! Today was their first meet in Belmont, MA. They lost but did a great job. Clayton came in 30th place with a time of 13:02 for 1.6 miles. In the last picture he is lined up in order-of-finish.

After talking about the race, he realized that he was "saving too much energy for the last part of the race and could have gone faster in the beginning and middle." Their next meet is next Thursday at home against Bedford. Now that Clayton has a good feel for how it all works, Clayton says, "Bedford better LOOKOUT!"
