Here are the girls in their "huddle" before the start. Serious expressions first ...
They finish with a cheer that involves a lot of yelling and them jumping up and down -- this is one of my favorite photos of the year:
Start of the race:
Leaders after one lap. Lydia's friend Kesinia is lurking behind the other two runners in front, biding her time (queue the theme music from "Jaws", since she will eventually come in first).
Lydia hitting the same turn:
Lydia at the finish:
One of the Clarke runners passed her in the last 50 feet, so she was super upset about that... but on the other hand, a different way to look at it -- Diamond's number one runner beat the top runner from Clarke, Diamond's number two beat the second runner from Clarke, and so on down the line until Lydia... the girl in the photo above passing her at the finish line wasn't even the girl she needed to beat (Lydia was way ahead of her counterpart). Girls team won the race handily...
