Archer joined 6th grade cross country at Ames Middle School this year! They practiced 5 days a week for an hour after school. It is an intramural program, so they did not compete in any races, but they did has an intra-squad race at the end of the season.
Archer had so much fun in cross country! He is a really good runner, but he said his favorite part was hanging out with his friends. Archer finished in 2nd place and we are so proud of him! He really pushed himself in practice everyday and made some new friends too!
Here are two the videos of the race and the finish:
