Stephen ran in the GISA AA Cross Country State Championship Meet in Macon, Georgia today. Nanah and Papa along with Angie, Alex, Nicholas and Sidney also drove up to the meet to watch Stephen run. This was a high school varsity championship meet although 8th graders are allowed to run in it too.

The top four teams from each of five regions were there. Brookwood's Boys Team finished 3rd Overall. Individually Stephen finished 6th overall with a time of 18:48. Also finishing in the boys top 10 was Alex Carico (9th Overall at 18:54). Daniel Fortner (14th Overall at 19:48), Hampton Worthey (30th Overall at 20:57), Rand Pope (42nd Overall at 22:19), John Penhallegon (44th Overall at 22:30) and Nathan Walter (48th Overall at 23:27) round out the boys team.

The girls team also finished 3rd Overall. Individually Virginia Nash (22:29) finished in the top 10 at 9th Overall. Leigh Stauffer finished 12th Overall at 22:54, McKenzie Harrell finished 14th Overall at 23:11, Caroline Penhallegon finished 21st Overall at 24:03, Haleigh Fredricks finished 32nd at 25:48, Hunter Avera finished 33rd at 25:54, and Danielle Harrell finished 37th at 26:43.

Coach Beeson's Fun Run For the Cure 2010

For the past three years Coach Beeson has hosted a Run for the Cure of Breast Cancer at Greenwood Plantation. This is the second year we have participated. If you look at the slideshow at the bottom of this post you will see that Kappy got off to a very fast start. She was at the head of the pack for the first 50-100 meters. She ended up finishing her 2.5K before Stephen and Jacob finished their 5K. Caroline and I walked the 2.5K because Caroline had injured her arm earlier and didn't want to run. We had a good time!
And now for the slideshow...
