Tennyson competes at district Cross Country meet

95 Tennyson students competed against over 3000 Vancouver students at the district wide cross country meet on Thursday at Trout Lake.  We were bright, we were loud, and we were FAST!  For the first time ever, Tennyson had 10 students in the top 25 for their grade (each race had up to 350 runners).  A huge thanks goes out to parent Chris Fuoco who fearlessly (and sometimes loudly!) leads the team along with help from Karoly Barna and Ed Sernoski.  Many parent volunteers helped by organizing kids, bringing snacks, driving to meets, handing out shirts and toques, and much more.  Thank you to all of the parents who helped but a special shout out to Tomi Eng, Jacqueline Crummey, and Fiona Davis Brown who were instrumental in keeping everything running smoothly.

Here are the students who received ribbons for placing in the top 25 runners in their grade.  Congratulations to all runners ... we are proud of everyone who ran.  Everyone should be proud of their participant ribbon.
