My best friend Jean is the Cross Country Coach at our school and two of her athletes, Meron and Jasmine, were invited to run in the Border Clash (WA vs OR) in Beaverton. It is quite cool to be invited as it means that you are one of 70 or so top runners in your state. So that fact that two were selected from our school was really cool. Jean and I went down the night before and spent time in Portland shopping and eating. It was fun, even though it was a little cold! The kids did really well. Meron got 14th and Jasmine got 32nd and both were very excited. Nike treated them to dinner, speakers, a tour of the headquarters, it was a great experience for them.
