Laexin has a love-hate relationship with this sport. We talked him into doing it, mostly to be in good shape for the upcoming basketball season. He LOVED the awesome kids he got to hang out with but HATED the running! His heart really wasn't in it most of the time, sometimes skipping practices and not wanting to go to meets but he pushed through and ended up being a real asset to his team. They take the top 5 racers times into consideration for the all-around team points and he was the 5th racer. The girls took districts and then 2nd at state and the boys ended up beating the odds against them and taking 3rd at state. He was pretty disappointed saying he should've run faster even though he had his fastest time ever at the State meet in Boise. I think the last few weeks of the season his heart was finally in it but he couldn't make up for the lost time from early in the season - hopefully he learned a valuable lesson from it all.
