Emily's first-ever cross country race was the Earlybird Invitational in Salinas. She placed 12th out of 170 in the Sophomore Girls race, 3rd on her team (one of her teammates won the race.) They won the team competition (and Mountain View High won the overall meet, too.)
I didn't take any of these pictures. For an amazing portfolio of hundreds of pictures from this race, see arakaki.smugmug.com and follow the links (this was put together by the parents of one of the team members)
