This was Arianna's first year to train for the Wellsville Mile. They worked all year, and towards the end she finally started to enjoy it. The scheduled date for the race was postponed due to a threat of rain. Unfortunately, the day that it was rescheduled for turned out to be a downpour! The day started warm and only partly cloudy. By the time the kids were ready to race they (and all those who came to support them) were soaking wet. They were shivering and Ari's cute glasses were in serious need of some windshield wipers! Regardless of all of that, Arianna did a wonderful job! She came in with a time of 10:32. That's awesome for being completely soaked! Great job, Ari!!!
Here she is at the start. Notice her jacket was almost completely on.
Here she is sprinting to the finish. The red jacket is barely on her arms!
It's hard to see her in this one, she's just behind the middle orange cone. Race completed!
That afternoon, after drying off completely, we went to Kali's Preschool Program. They treat it as a graduation though she still has another year of preschool. Her teachers were Mrs. Paskett and this year she had a co-teacher, Ms. Stephanie. I had to fight Kali most of the year to go to school. She loved it while she was there, just didn't want to make the break. But by the end she was doing great and is looking forward to going back!
Teacher Paskett does a fun carnival after the program. The kids had a blast!
