Talli Runs Another Personal Best


In the last scheduled cross-country meet of the season yesterday at McMinnville, our high school Freshman granddaughter Talli ran her personal best (PB) race of the season. Her time was 20:36.63 for the 3.1-mile, 5,000 meter course.

She finished fourth overall and less than a second and a half behind her teammate Emily, a Junior. In the pic above, that’s Talli, left, and Emily, in an earlier race this year.

Talli has had nothing less than a sensational year in cross-country competition, finishing either first or second from her school in every race. Congratulations, Talli.

All that’s left now are the District Meet in a week and the State meet on Nov. 1, both for which you have to qualify. Last I heard it’s possible she’ll go to the District meet and she has a shot, I think, at the State meet. Wow.
