Abate ran in his first cross country meet on Wednesday. 2 miles and 86 7th and 8th grade boys. We were all a bit nervous as Abate hurt his heel in practice on Tuesday and it was still hurting him some. As race time neared he was feeling fine. He was in the lead group right from the start and at one point during the race he had the lead - but he came down hard on his foot and the pain returned, so he lost a bit of momentum and still amazingly finished in 4th place! What an incredible finish for a first race!
He's quite the star at school now, and is really getting attention from all the staff and school mates! He's quite proud of his medal that he won! We are all very proud of him too! Way to go Abate!
