You know this year I started Cross Country for Topeka West. Well, we ran at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, KS earlier in the season, and a nationally known photo-taking group was there.

Yoda....my brother went to West Springfield! Way before you though, but what a blast from the past! I graduated from Robinson. I have to say that your intelligent conversations here make me believe that Fairfax County is still the tops in education! Sorry! Totally off topic!

Congratulations, David!
How many positions win medals? Do all these medals look alike?

Sorry Tom.
Depends on the race. Usually top 20, sometimes top 15.
Well, the girls CC team qualified as a team today, and I'm the only boy from west to qualify for state which is next weekend, back at Rim Rock.
Wish me luck!
