Running Lane Recap

On Thursday, December 1, fifteen athletes from Holy Family’s cross country team flew to Huntsville, Alabama for the weekend to compete in the Running Lane 5K as a part of Coach Isaiah Remington’s Amateur Track Club.

We flew into Nashville, Tennessee late Thursday night and then prepared ourselves for the two hour drive to Huntsville, Alabama. When we reached the hotel, it was close to 1 a.m. so we went to bed right away.

Since we got in so late, we had to adjust our schedule. The next morning, we got up and got some breakfast before going on a team outing to Trader Joe’s to get some snacks and breakfast for the next day. After that, we went to the race to pick up bib numbers and see the course. Later that night, our coach took us to an arcade so we could have some fun and play laser tag before going to dinner and heading back to the hotel to have our team meeting. 

The next morning, we got up early and ate some breakfast before heading out. It rained all morning so the course was incredibly muddy by the time it got to the girls race. Our team was split into different races based on time. The races and times were as follows:

Boys White Race

Will Cavanaugh, 19:10.30,  137th in his race

William Gallegos,  21:08.30,  245th in his race
