Area 6 is sitting in second as a team at NAJYRCs.  These kids are all ferocious when it comes to cross country day. Current leaders Area 2 cannot afford any mistakes with this crew breathing down their necks.

Could today possibly be any more exciting? American Pharoah goes back to work at Del Mar, Team USA is throwing down at the Pan Ams, my favorite kids from Area VI are showing everyone what West Coast talent is all about at NAJYRCs, and many of my friends have started off for Montana. July used to feel like such a slow month during the lead up to Rebecca Farm, but it’s really taken a different tone this year. My phone is going to get a serious work out today. I’ll be anxiously refreshing scores and Facebook until I know those that I care about are at their destinations safely – whether that’s the finish flags in Canada or Kentucky, or in Big Sky Country. Good rides and safe travels to all.
