Coach Ryan Patrie is running a new club in town at Latham Ridge Elementary School – Running Club!
The club is divided into two age groups, grades K-2 and 3-5, and held its inaugural run on Friday, Sept. 27 with grades 3-5. The club then hosted grades K-2 on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
As each student did a lap around the gym, they were given a popsicle stick. When they had 25 popsicle sticks, the students had run a mile. At the end of the session, students handed in their popsicle sticks to Coach Patrie, who logged their progress for the week. Throughout the run students encouraged each other to keep up the pace, take water breaks as needed, and have fun.
