Last Spring, when M ran track, we took a picture of her beloved track spikes and put the saying on it, "The pride you gain is worth the pain". We should have made that her XC motto. She certainly deserved the pride she felt (and mom and dad) last night when they named her MVP for the girls' team! This was something that her entire team voted on. Also...the team captains make their own "awards" and they gave M the "Determination is My Nation" award and told how determined she was to keep running. Her coach had to tell her to stop running during practice one day because she was hurting so bad.
Finally, (nope, that's not all), M was voted Captain of the girl's team for next year! I guess that commits her to coming back!
What a great night! We are proud of you M!
