XC State Championships
Isaac was really hoping to qualify for the Nike Border Clash
by finishing top 5, but there were some really fast runners out there - he did superb with a 13th place finish (out of 142) - and there is next year to look forward to. He finished 90th last year, so he has come really far.
The amount of love and support that Isaac received all season is amazing. I made a personal goal to be at each meet, only missing one non-league run while were doing Leavenworth. Thanks to all of you - what an awesome family.
Sean and Isaac warming up. These guys are tight - I admire their bond and their friendship. They truly push and support each other in everything.
142 runners - itching to go.
Sean and Isaac stayed close most of the race, which is par for course this season. But Sean has an admirable kick - and he ended up coming in 9th.
Coach Terry Howard (aka Sharon) trying to buoy the boys after the run. The weight Isaac puts into everything he says is immense.
Coach Howard can't remember the last time there were two Washougal Panthers on the podium at State Championships.
It was a great season, and I'm kind of sad to see it end. Coach Howard wants to send the boys to the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in Walnut, CA - near L.A., which we think would be an exciting opportunity for him.
Thanks, again, to all of you who took time out of your busy lives to support Isaac in what will likely always be a big part of his life. It means a lot.

Nice job Isaac! You're a great example for our kids(your younger cousins) in dedication and hard work. Keep it up.
Thanks for posting the update Adina. I'm a little out of touch, but interested and excited for Isaac's success.
