Centaurus Bernie Gay XC Invitational 2021

Gavin and Gage both joined the running club (at least part time) at Westlake Middle school this year.  Most Junior High Schools/Middle Schools have formal team sports but our school district does not fund them so anything that does exist is typically a small club affiliated with the school or more likely just a full separate sports club organization.  We are thankful that Gavin's Spanish teacher Mr. Hinkle gets the kids together to run at the track and arranged for the crew to join a formal XC meet with other schools.  Here they are all lined up at the start of the Centaurus Bernie Gay XC Invitational 2021 for the ~1.5 mile run.

Both of these guys are really good runners, though Gage would say that he enjoys it more than Gavin.  They came through the one mile mark running hard together somewhat toward the front end of the pack.  They were both looking very strong!

This is a picture of the full Westlake team that ran this day.  Gavin finished in 27th with a total time of 10:43.60 and Gage finished 36th with a total time of 10:47.60.  There were a total of 153 middle school boys racing this day so they did quite amazing!
