It is Home Coming Week at the high school. We all know that this week is filled with crazy antics to get the students school spirit up. I know about the football game, bomb fire, and pep rallies.
But I have never heard of running 75 miles. That is what the cross country team does for Home Coming Week every year. This year they started at Provo High school and ran all the way back here. They took turns in groups. It was like a relay, they passed a football to those that were taking over.
It still was a long grueling day, but these kids loved every minute of it. It took them 7 hours to run the entire way. I trailed along after I got the other kids off to school. The team ended the day by running flares into a stadium and lighting the bomb fire for the school. This is a day that Van will not likely forget.

Wow! That sounds like quite an event! Must be a fun tradition for the kids. I've never heard of anything quite like it before. The pictures were great-looked like all the kids were enjoying themselves!
