She came in sixth overall in the Varsity race (out of 82 runners) - not bad for a sophomore competing in her first race ever. Her whole team did really well. Their top five runners placed in the top eight spots, and they ended up tied for first place.
Paul, Henry and I all went out to watch the meet, and I captured this sweet shot of Clara and her dad talking after the race.
Today was September 11, a day I will never forget . . . a day of tragedy and heart ache for my country. But, days like this, days when I see a happy girl, a healthy husband and beautiful children give me hope for the future. Because today truly was a good day.

Great captures! I love the shot with Clara's hair and ribbons flying behind her. Cross country was my sport at school, but I was almost always muddy and bedraggled afterwards, not glowing like Clara and her team mates!
Well done to her! She looks so happy and healthy and radiant. A good day, indeed
Good, indeed! Congrats to Clara! I love all your photos today.
Beautiful photo of Clara from profile. You almost can see her hair moving ! xx
Really wonderful photos! And congrats to Clara for making varsity!
Such fantastic shots, Rinda. I LOVE the one of Clara and Paul on the grass - awesome!
It's fun to see some girl-sports photos on your blog, and I'm looking forward to seeing more as the season progresses for your girl. :o)
A good day indeed...it sounds like she's really found something to excel at....love the photos.
Well done Clara and team! Lovely that you had a good day:)
Well done Clara! What a lovely post, and such fab photos
I love seeing and hearing how Clara is flourishing this year ... second shot is a ripper by the way!
Indeed a very good day and even better because you acknowledged the blessings :) So excited for Clara and I'm happy that Henry got to see this before he heads north.
Kudos to Clara! And great shots!
A lovely post, well done to your daughter. I love the side view you have captured :)
So beautiful Rinda, post and pictures. I love the flying hair and ribbons!
Fantastic photos Rinda - it does look like a good day. I especially like the two of them sitting there together!
Well done Clara and some great photos - love the one of her and her Dad :-)
Many congratulations to Clara and that is a great bunch of photos too. What a way to start her year :). You are rightly proud ...
A good day indeed - I like the action shots of Clara running and that last shot of her relaxing and having some Dad time is so sweet.
Oh, I think it rates as a great day. Very nice pic of Dad and Daughter.
That's some very impressive cross-countrying!
