This past week, we got to celebrate Sadie at her first high school banquet, held for cross country.
She started running this summer, but it was not consistent since we travel so much. She enjoyed seeing friends & meeting new friends before school started. And it helped get her in better shape for soccer. Little did we know, she would end up loving it! Unfortunately, she only ran the first half of the season because then she got hurt, however, she was still able to attend the banquet & celebrate with her teammates:
It was our first Wakeland celebration & I was so excited to see all of the decorations with orange & navy! We've been in green the past few years:
We had a great time & I really enjoyed hearing the coaches and the students speak, especially the seniors. It's clear these coaches have done a great job fostering a welcoming community & I am so glad Sadie got to be a part of it. Even though the season is over, she is still training and meeting other girls to run before school a few days a week & is already talking about next year. I love that she found something to help her stay in shape for soccer, that she truly enjoys & will always be a lifelong sport she can do:
Up next - high school soccer! Her first game is less than a month away. Let's go Wolverines!
