On the last Sunday in October, Emily ran the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial 5K with some of her JPII teammates. She was not looking forward the race as the distance is a bit outside of her comfort zone, but we drove the course the day before and by that morning, she was ready. By some luck, she ended up winning her age group (females under 20) and took home a little trophy. We are proud of her hard work! A few hours after the race, she played a soccer game. She definitely slept well that night!
The brother of one of our friends died in the line of duty this spring. In addition to her race bib, Emily wore his number on her back for the race.
Sprinting to the finish. The last 1/2 mile was a long, steady uphill.
Waiting for her friends to finish.
1st in her age group!
