We had three Jackson Middle School participants racing as Rebels this past Friday and they were fabulous.  The miles they have put in over the summer was obvious as they cruised over the two mile course with the high school kids...nice job.

Pictures from the race are linked to the right side of the blog site, however you need to view the web version to find the links.
