Some of you may remember our oldest daughter Maggie as being just a baby at the Baltimore Reunion. Well she's now 9 and in 4th grade. She attends Immanuel Lutheran School in Palatine, outside of Chicago. One of the things she really enjoys is running on the school's Cross Country team. This past weekend, her team competed in the Illinois Lutheran Schools Cross Country Championships, and her team took first place! In fact, both the boys and girls teams took first, the first time one school has won both in the same year. The girls bumped off the 5 time defending champion. Although her time didn't figure in the scoring,(she's running against 6th,7th and 8th graders) she had a blast and loved being part of the winning team. This weekend, they are in Mequon Wisconsin for Nationals.
Here's the action shot.

Here she is holding the trophy proudly displaying her medal.


And a picture of both the winning teams..

We're sure proud of our little "champ"
