Footlocker Regionals

Drew had the opportunity to run Footlocker Regionals last weekend in Walnut, California.

He was introduced as the Oregon 6A State Champion--Kind of cool!

He was a excited to run a good race, especially after not having such a good post season so far.

Here he is at the introductions!

And they are off in the boys seeded race--Drew was seeded 17th!

Heading up Poop-Out Hill!!!

And down the steep back side!

We are sorry to say the day did not go as he had hoped.

Not wanting to make excuses, he was unsure what to say, but he knows there is something wrong. He again had the asthma like breathing and this time he said about 1/2 mile into the race he was feeling like he usually does at the finish line--no oxygen! Also this time he said all his vision below his eye level was blacked out--not a good sign. We are looking forward to seeing the doctor on Friday and getting some questions answered for him.

I will admit I was a little worried about him possibly having a bad attitude for the rest of the trip---but I was very proud of him!! He said he ran the very best he could have that day, and he chose not to dwell on it, and we had an awesome rest of our trip!! Some maturity--I was excited for him especially in this point. Trusting in God in the good times is easy, trusting in Him when you are having a hard time is much more difficult!!
