This past week was Homecoming week at Lone Tree. My cross country team ran at the City High Invitational and got our behinds kicked! Little 1A Lone Tree came in last place against 5 other 4A schools and a 2A school ranked in the top five in the state and another 1A school ranked first in the state! However, the runners' times were outstanding so we considered it a pretty good meet! Last week we ran at Fairfield and one of our freshman girls won the race! She is now ranked 13th in the state!
One of our senior girls was voted Homecoming Queen and another was on the court. We were pretty excited and proud that two of the three girls on the court are part of the cross country team. I think we may finally be making a name for ourselves!
The other "highlight" from Homecoming week happened on Wednesday night when our house was TP'd by the cross country boys. I was really bummed that we didn't hear them... we would have totally scared them otherwise! They did a pretty good job and it didn't take me too long to clean up! Sorry the picture is pretty dark....
On Saturday, I went out for breakfast and then took a trip to the apple orchard with my good friends Katie and Christine.
And then, Paul and I scored some Hawkeye tickets from our good friends, Chris and Amy Hogrefe. We had awesome seats and saw a good game. Iowa beat Arizona 27-17.
So jealous that you two got to go to an Iowa game! However, we are thrilled that we are able to watch them on ABC tonight. Anika is even staying up late to watch the Hawkeyes. :) Great to hear about your XC team. I wish I could come to a meet. Hope the rest of the season goes well. Keep up on the updates . . . we love them!
ReplyDeleteHow did they know where you live? Ha ha, love the TP!
ReplyDeleteWe have pasta parties the night before every meet and last year we had one at our house... They remembered!
