Stampede in the Park

Stampede in the Park is a race amongst all the elementary schools in the District, grades 4-6th.  Not all kids in that grade level can go.  You must be elible by running the mile under a certain time.  That is why only 3-4 students from each grade level was allowed to go (yay Nathan!)  The kids compete in their grade level and with the same gender.  The race is held at Waynesville park.  They run a mile, and the kids just have a fun morning.  Nathan ran in Heat 2 of the 5th grade boys.  There were about 40 boys running in his heat and he came in at an impressive 13th!
