Our daughter Evelyn was introduced to cross country by Joy Sherratt at Fallon Middle School. And if the Bay Area were home to snow, I’d bet they’d be running still. Heat, cold, rain, fog – and yet they run. Today’s drenched race was balanced by conditions at the other end of the spectrum earlier in the season – triple-digit heat with the student athletes seeking shelter from the sun (not rain). Yes we are in a brutal drought but couldn’t, perhaps, the rain delay it’s entrance for a few hours? No, and yet they run. The rain started early as a fine mist and built into a healthy downpour with umbrella unravelling bursts of wind.

Today’s NCS Cross Country Finals saw both the Dublin High School varsity boys and girls compete for the Division II title in conditions that would postpone a baseball game. The theme of this post is, however, “and yet they run”.

The girls team had a respectable showing that bodes well for future wins. The team qualified after placing second at the NCS Finals event in Hayward earlier today. The headline is “ Dublin High School Varsity Boys Cross Country Team Qualifies for CIF State Championships” which will be held on Saturday November 29 in Fresno.
