FIRST HOME XC MEET IN THE BOOKS!
What a HUGE success! It takes a lot of time, work, and helping hands to make a home meet happen, and we have so many people to thank. Your time and generosity do not go unnoticed!
A huge THANK YOU to:
• The Northwoods board members for being wonderful hosts
• Skinners for loaning a side-by-side to make meet setup and teardown so much easier
• Our official, timing crew, and athletic director
• FCCLA for the bake sale and crazy sock sale
• All of our community donors who have helped make our fundraising such a success
• Vital Signs for the amazing mile-marker signs that help guide our athletes around the course
• Our awesome spectators who came out to cheer
• And ALL of the helpers who pitched in wherever they were needed — THANK YOU!
And now for the grand finale…
💜 THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR RUNNERS! 💜
The pride I feel watching these athletes run is hard to put into words. Today we saw PRs, faster times than the last time on this course, and athletes simply digging deep and pushing as hard as they could.
Every one of those is something to celebrate.
Watching these athletes crush goals, challenge themselves, support one another, and leave their hearts out on that course is pretty amazing.
Keep running. Keep pushing. Keep showing that Panther Pride. 💜🐾
