Did you know...

The Lehi Jr. High Cross Country team is AWESOME?!
This has been their first season and these kids have really made their mark!

It has been so fun to watch all of them improve their times  and have so much fun together!

They have a BLAST being CRAZY!

I must say that our favorite part has been watching THOMAS...I can be a little biased right?!
Thomas has more drive, determination and SURE WILL in his little pinky finger than I could ever dream of having!
With each new challenge, he makes a plan and IMPLEMENTS it! He has been training so hard and it is paying off! He is stronger with each race.

Jac is in the right hand corner cheering her bro on... what a fun, strong bond these two have!
See what I mean by DETERMINATION?! He is never afraid to give it EVERYTHING he's got!

Thomas' cheering squad!
These boys have come to know each other as they have competed for first place.
When one of them has beat Thomas he has not let it discourage him, instead he has made a game plan, prepared himself and come in first the following race! 
What's so great is that they have become friends! ONLY in cross country do you see this kind of friendship! Even though they all want to get 1st place, they have been good losers and gracious winners; making you love each one of them!
Katlyn Struthers, Matthew Jones and Thomas... forever friends!
This is a picture of their race at Cottonwood Complex...
Thomas went out strong as always and PASSED THE RABBIT!!!  A rabbit is a older runner, usually a faster runner;  who runs ahead to show the kids where to go. This rabbit was about 19 but was no match for Thomas! He passed him about 1/2 way through the race!
Thomas, YOU are AMAZING!

We love you :)

Thomas is my hero, what a champ and great leader he is! It has been a blast watching him and his determination, if someone beats him once it won't happen twice! Way to go Thomas! love you
