High School Cross Country Meet in AUK

 One of our many beautiful sunrises from the deck of the school in Alakanuk.

 With four-wheelers and worktrucks driving through, we set up the starting and finish line next to the school.

 Outside concessions for the community to come watch the race off the deck.

 A four-wheeler led the pack of girls at 10:00 AM. After all girls were finished running the 3.1 mile course, the boys ran. I loved being a part of the races and encouraging the runners.

 Sammy's checkpoint was by the airport road, Sarah was all the way down by the Native store to direct kids to turn around, and Josh Cunningham stood close to my house for another checkpoint. I'm glad Josh was able to make it to Alakanuk; he's my WSUV friend from the program was able to fly in from Marshall to chaperone and help us all out.

 In between races, Sammy and I enjoyed a favorite leisurely activity.

 

Sammy was surfin' the sewer pipes.

 

Alakanuk had three out of four place in the top 15 for the district meet. Two were able to travel to a place near Bethel for regionals which took place today.
