Cross Country

Hey, It's Derek!  My Cross Country team just had their first meet. We flew to Koyuk Alaska and ran great. The course was super challenging, massive hills, pot-holed gravel roads, and a long beach stretch. The High School girls team placed 1st, and the High School boys got 2nd!
I took this from the plane, It's Lacy on the Honda, watching us fly away. She's a great driver.

My Team!

  3. Great job Derek! I hope your team really appreciates how cool you are :) By the way, Vanessa and I are fairly certain you two took one of our couch pillows with you to Alaska...since there is a posted picture of Derek laying on it.

  4. Jena - we were wondering where we got that awesome pillow. It just showed up in Alaska! Weird. Derek loves it though, he'll bring it back in May.
