Junior High Parents
These 3 all finished their very first Longhorn 150 Challenge today and gave it their all. As a freshmen they found out just how difficult it can mentally, physically, and emotionally be however they all pushed through and persevered. They all three had good attitudes and I think will attempt it again in the near future determined to do even better and that is what I love to see as their coach!! #LonghornPride #PersevereAndSucceed #determination

These 4 all did a great job with the LONGHORN 150 Challenge today with Trevor setting the New Record by 2 minutes at 22:38!! Another one, Sam improved his time by 30% while Eddie improved his time from last year by 29%!! Luke had a good run as well going under 30 minutes and setting the bar high for the incoming Freshmen!! All in all I saw a lot of improvement and hope that everyone left will continue to push themselves to new heights!! #LonghornPride #gettingbetter
