Bartow County Championships
It's not every day you attend a cross country meet where the course is lined with camels, zebras, goats, sheep, lamas and ostriches; or that a goat runs onto the course right as the runners are lining up to start the race. Ah, the exciting high-society life in North Georgia! The county championship race was held at Pettit Creek Farms and all five county teams participated. Woodland's rival is Cass...and the boys varsity team lost first place by ONE POINT! Total heartbreaker! Girls' varsity placed first and swept the first six places. Colton ran well and finished 6th overall and remains 2nd on his team. He's having a great season so far and we've got another meet tomorrow (Thursday).

Dude broke out early and took the lead. My first reaction was to scream and yell because I was so excited...seconds later I realized he should have hung back and made his move later. It was still really cool to see him leading the pack!

Running with Nathan around mile 2.

The top 7 runners in the county!

With Nathan.

Some of WHS finest posing with the camels. Both girls on Colton's left have crushes on him...and vice versa.

Champions! Dude with Brett (3rd for the county/1st for team) and Nathan (7th in county/5th for team)
Getting photos with dude is becoming increasingly challenging. Glad he thinks it's funny!

Finally!
