California State Championships

---A seventh place finish at the California State Championships on Saturday did not meet our expectations as a team; however, I applauded the girls after the race on their efforts the last six months. The girls, collectively, were truly disappointed, which is heartening to me because it shows they care about performance, not just participating. Cross Country is no different than your expectations as a parent when a report card arrives in the mail. Mama Clemons and myself have expectations for our team based on our observations throughout the season, we expected to perform better, and we did not. That being said, the process has been a joy, a wonderful group of girls to be around, and I am sad it is over.
