PG Invitational

A while ago was the North Tahoe cross country meet, which I was unable to attend, where the team went to Tahoe and stayed with their team and then competed the next day. Last night, the Tahoe team came down to Pacific Grove for the same occasion. We held a spaghetti dinner in the home-ec room and then went to see the movie Eagle Eye as a group at Lighthouse Cinemas.

Today we had our invitational meet, with the teams from North Tahoe, Greenfield, and others. Marching band was supposed to play today at the butterfly parade at the same time, which would have been really hectic trying to make it to both. However, Mr. Hoffman had to make an emergency trip to Orange County, so the event was canceled.

The course went from the high school, around the baseball fields, and into the Rip Van Winkle Open Space. It was a lot easier than other courses because there weren't many hills and the weather was nice and cool. It even lightly rained at one point. There was a race for each gender of each grade. Since we went second out of eight, I spent the next few hours cheering on the rest of our team. There was a snack bar set up with Gatorade, Vitamin Water, bagels, chips, Cup Noodles, and other refreshments. Isabella Fenstermaker and Alex Schramm both got first place in their categories, and Casey and Addison got 4^th and 6^th. My time was about 23 minutes for the 3-mile course.
