We are proud of them! Enjoy the photo gallery of scenes from this morning’s race.

Everyone is smiles.
“Hey, my name is Luke and I got 2nd place.”
“Hi, my name is Isaiah. I took home 3rd and let my amigo Luke take 2nd!” (not quite how it happened. ๐ )
“Yeah…sitting feels better than running at this moment!”
