Jake's get's 10th!


This is Jake's 2nd Cross Country Meet-
( I forgot the camera for his 1st one. )


Hanging out with friends until the race begins.



The kids were excited to stand at the top
of the bleachers and watch him run all
around the field and park.


Eating dinner from Carl's Jr.-compliments of
Daddy.


A pep talk from Coach Balay.


And they're off!


Jake was making good time. This is his
second lap.

Out of 60 boys, Jake came in 10th! WOW!
He was 10th last week too! He is the 2nd fastest
in his school. I don't pretend to understand
the drive to run, but his Grandpa Oldham and
several aunts and uncles on the Oldham side are
runners, so I guess it's in his blood!


We are so proud of Jake!!

Nice Job! I'm with you on not understanding running! That's my least favorite thing to do!
