XC Varsity Trip to Dallas



This is a big smile on Jordan's face.  She finally is wearing the Varsity shorts.  It would be nice if they were 2 sizes smaller for her but she DID NOT care!




A note from Coach Helm

She was so excited to be able to travel with the team for a weekend to Dallas.
The trail they raced on was around this lake.

Warm ups with Varsity.
She told me later she was just so excited warming up with them.


At the start

On the trail

up one more hill.

 to the finish.
The girls are numbered 1 thru 10.  Jordan is 9 on the team and that is exactly how they all placed.  1 thru 10, Jordan being 9 for VHS.
She was pretty happy with her time.  This was her first 5k race as JV only runs 2 miles so cant really compare it to her other races.
She was pretty proud and more than that she just had so much fun at this meet.


 Whenever there is a meet 3 or more hours away,  I always struggle to decide if I should go.  So far, I always have and so far I have always made the right decision to and support her.   I love being there for her and seeing her hard work pay off.  Being on cross country is not for whimps.  They run year round and start as early as 6am.  Hard hard work outs and many miles are put in.

 Amalia, Caroline, Jordan, and Sydney

Cool down by the lake.


Best friends.
Whats so cool about this meet was Isabell was just as excited for Jordan.  She had been waiting just as long as Jordan has for her to be able to join her on the varsity team.
