Going the distance

It was a day of grit and determination and some sweat at CityCentre. The boys of Let Me Run, Rummel Creek Elementary’s student running club, laced up and conquered their 5K run with confidence and camaraderie. The group trained for weeks, building not just endurance but also leadership and character. Congratulations to the runners including (pictured, front row, from left) Grayson Rohr, Jack Hobson, Oscar Rincon, Decker Humiston, Alex Osterhaus, Jamie Smith, Jude Alaniz, Jake Schifano, and Jamal Rasulov. Each one pushed through the challenge and crossed that finish line. The boys were coached by (pictured, back row, from left) Coach Matt Alaniz, Coach Christopher Clatt, and (not pictured) Coach Michael Hertlein cheering them on with every stride.
