[quote=Anonymous]My middle school DD is on her second year on the cross country team. The school has a strong reputation for the sport and last year the girl's varsity won state, and they may repeat this year. There are runners of various abilities and last year my DD was in the top third overall, but placed behind 4-5 girls on her team. Her coach called her a "middle of the pack" runner. I am happy she has found a sport she likes and am fine with her not being some superstar runner. This year she has placed higher, consistently beating girls who last year were ahead of her. She recently had a great race where she beat a girl who she had not previously passed in a race. The kids are chipped for times, and when I saw them about 15 feet before the finish line, my DD was slightly ahead of the other girl and the time came at the finish showed my DD beating this girl by two seconds. We congratulated her and her classmate on a great race, and went on with our lives. Then I get a text from the coach asking if I had seen the actual finish because a parent had texted wondering if my DD actually beat the other kid. What would you think if you got a text like that?
