The official end the Cross Country Season :(
We had Nathan's big Banquet tonight..... It was a lot of work for us parents, and emotional too! Nathan had to give up his captains hat to next years captains, but the highlight of the evening was he and Matt Torntory won the "Heart of the Hawk" award - the highest award that can be given based on spirit, leadership, team, ethics, and sportsmanship. This is the second time Nathan has won this award! Coaches (and parents) had some amazing, nice things to say about Nathan.....
Oh yes, and my slideshow was a hit too -- big whew! 2,000 pictures filtered to 400 getting at least a couple of 60 kids into each, sorted by event and race, and crammed into a 13 minute video, made compatible with ancient school tech equipment. The kids loved it, specially when the song "What the Fox says!" came on!
Congratulations to Julia on her Confirmation!
Thanks to Mom and Dad for coming down and helping so much, the Minnetonka Hewitt's, the Sang family and Keisha for joining Julia on her big day!

Article in the Paper on Nathan's Dramatic Cross Country Section Meet
Two boys to state
With one spot to the Class AA State Meet up for grabs for six teams, every place counted, and in the end, it was Chanhassen that came away with the second-place finish with 109 points.
Chaska, which did send two individual runners, was one point behind at 110. Delano (116), Buffalo (118), Missota Conference champion Shakopee (138) and Marshall (139) were also in the hunt.
Fourth-ranked Hutchinson captured its first section title since 1984 with a score of 60.
Spencer Urick and Zac Miller, both underclassmen, continued their surge toward the top, placing third and seventh individually. Urick checked in at 16:24.8 with Miller exactly 10 seconds behind him.
Senior Nathan Hewitt missed state by one place, taking 13th overall in a time of 16:58 - one-tenth of a second behind the last qualifier in Alex Carrabre of Waconia.
It was a tough finish for Hewitt, who was described as "classy" by Chanhassen Head Coach Andy Powell, stating the Hawks senior captain came to their team and shook every guy's hand, congratulating them on the team qualification.
"We're definitely happy for those guys. We kind of expected (Spencer and Zac) to make it and we were hoping Nathan would join them. It was so close. They all work so hard in practice, so it paid off for them," Perrill said.
Chaska was in a position to have a shot at state with fourth and fifth runners, Sam Shay and Parker Bjorklund, crossing the line with two of their best times of the season in 17:48.5 and 17:50.8 for 42nd and 45th places, respectively.
Hewitt and Matt Torntore (18:05) were the lone seniors in the varsity line-up.
