Tiger Run - 3 runners 3 different races - great results

Starting at 6:00 am - Mark was busy getting kids ready and out the door to be at the Tiger Run Cross Country meet.  Robert had to be there by 7:00, while Devon and Marissa had to be at the school by 7:15.  Thank goodness for car pools.

This is the first race of the year for all three teams.  Everyone is a bit nervous and a bit excited at the same time.

Robert ran first at 9:00 am  Robert ran a great race.  He came in 39th out of 350 runners with a time of 11:57 - a PR!  He came in 9th for his team which show that NOMS has a great boys team.  The team took first place!  Robert was awarded the trophy to take home for one week because he had such great improvement from last year (over a minute on his time).



Devon ran at 11:00 am.  He ran on the JV team.   Devon ran a great race coming in 53 out of 256 runners with a time of 19:22 - that's over a minute and a half better than his time at the same race last year.  He came in 6th on his team!
mid way through the race, what a good pace

a great finish for Devon
Marissa ran at 11:45 am.  She too ran in the JV race (all Freshman did).  She not only ran a great race coming in 36th out of 252 runners with a time and PR of 23:27 but she also out ran (time wise) some of the Varsity runners.  She came in 4th for her team in the race and 9th overall (Varsity and JV).



They each wanted to do good in this race to start the season off right and they all did FANTASTIC!  So proud of them!
