Lauren had her best race. She has improved every race this year. She is becoming so comfortable with the races. She is a very quiet girl, but very competitive. I have been so impressed with the impact she has had on the team.

The Rockland runner is very good and Kate stayed with her the whole race. Kate is so consistent. I can always rely on her to finish strong.

This is going to be a wonderful resource for us. It will fit in well to improve the health of the kids, and fit more exercise into the day, which in effect will make them better learners. Kids who have more physical activity are better learners. There used to be a mindset that physical education and activity was a waste of time in school, but it is not.
