Jordan's first cross country meet - 3rd place

Jordan was sidelined again this fall from cross country running with Achilles tendinitis. He's in the process of getting orthodics, and had to stop running until he gets them next week. That's why you see him wearing an brace on his left ankle (along with the brace on his left wrist).

The coach asked if he'd be willing to run in the meets, even if he can't come to practice, and he said OK. His first meet was Tuesday, where he finished 3rd overall of around 150 middle school kids (Jordan is a 7th grader). Hudson middle school ended up taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall for the boys. Go Raiders!

Un friggen real....Carla must have been a heck of an athlete in her day, otherwise there would be no explaining where he gets it from.

The explanation seems simple enough. How many of those kids do you think put as much time as Jordan did in hard aerobic efforts over the summer?
