XC Banquet

A final tribute to the team...
Jacqueline was awarded:
 "Most outstanding girl runner"  
When Coach Rowe called Jacqueline's name, he made her stand up on the stage while he talked about her; which she loved ;) He said said some really nice things about her. He talked about how challenging it is to be the strongest and the youngest on the team; and how as coaches, it was a challenge to know how hard to push, yet she handled it all, learning from each race. It is a great reminder that, 
AGE doesn't matter; what matters, is WHO you are! Jacqueline truly is a strong leader among her peers, and family. She has a light and goodness about her that makes everyone want to be the same way. The great thing is that her friends ARE the same way which makes it great for all of them. They know how to have fun and bring out the best in each other while doing it. It sure makes living right easier!
Min, Kenz, Jac, Ian, Dallin, and Alex

Congratulations Jac!
We couldn't be prouder of our "little" girl!
