Saturday, November 6, 2010 was the South Carolina state cross country championships in Columbia. All the cross-country runners from all the schools throughout the state come to the Sandhills Research Facility & run as fast as they can. Chris attends a small charter high school & runs in the 1A division. The weather was SUPER cold (low 30’s) in the morning – Chris ran really well! He missed beating his best ever time by only 20 seconds. The winning time was 16:24 (just over a 5-minute mile!). If you look at the “guess who won” picture, you can see that the red-haired boy was off like lightning from the start. He stayed about 10 feet ahead of the next runner for the entire race. After seeing the awards (Chris’ high school took 10th place overall), we went to Cici’s with our long-time friends to finish out the fun.
