I was remiss in not getting this to the blog sooner…I’d like to say it got lost in the holiday shuffle, although that may be true…it’s a horrible excuse! Nurturing these young athletes is critical…my apologies Hannah…congratulations. Erin, thanks for sharing this…call me anytime, I would love to talk to you about suggestions to keep Hannah engaged and enjoying the sport of running!
Hi Julie- I thought that you might be interested in knowing that Hannah recently competed in the USATF Junior Olympic National Cross Country Championship in Reno, Nevada on Dec 12th. She had a GREAT time and ran fairly well too. She surpassed her goal (top 100) and came in 75th (top 25 percent) out of greater than 250 racers in the midget division. She competed unattached and truly had a ball. She just loves this competition. After the holidays I would love to talk to you about how to nurture her passion and talent to create opportunities for her to explore. What do you know about local track and field clubs? Hope your holidays are bright. Erin Springhorn
By the way Hannah was part of the SoundRunner Summer running camp that we present in conjunction the Branford Parks and Rec…dates will be ironed out soon!
