Scott and Coach McGuire and Devon.

Scott and his good friend Devon, who lives just four houses up the street from us. Scott and Devon started running as Freshman together and have both grown so much in the last four years. They were co-captains of the team this year and have loved pushing each other to excel.

The 2009 AAAA Runners Up

This year's T-Shirts had all the State Qualifiers listed on the back. Very cool.

Lots of Geese hanging out at the Rancho San Rafael Park this year.

Mom and Dad and Dallin enjoyed getting to go to Reno to watch Scott compete in his last Cross Country meet this weekend: the State 2009 Championship which only 4 teams from the South qualified to compete in. His team did very well: Runners Up for all the AAAA Schools in the entire State!

Cross Country has definitely been a major highlight of Scott's High School Years. Although he got sick mid-way through this Senior year season and he has felt frustrated in the last few races, Scott has done some amazing things these last four years. Some of his achievements include: Lettering as a Freshman and every year since; making the All Division Team 2x; Making the All Region Team 3X; Helping his team win Regionals three years in a row; Running at State 3x; Being his team's third finisher out of 7 runners on the team that won State in 2008; Being his team's second finisher on the team that won their Division at Nike Pre-Nationals in Oregon in 2009, beating 24 schools from all over the country; serving as a team captain, and winning lots of Scholar-Athlete awards, etc.

We are very proud of our son and all he has accomplished in these last four years. Thank goodness for Sister Mathews for suggesting he go out for the team!
