Dylan ran in his first official meet as a Big 12 athlete last week at the Lobo Invitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and I could not be more overjoyed for him. Not only was he able to run as a member of the Texas A&M men's traveling team, but he was also able to earn a spot in the top 8 runners. I was not able to watch the meet because Cliff and I were in Colorado (will post about that trip soon), but being the super parents that they are, mom and dad made the 470 mile trip to see him run.
After listening to him talk about the race, I can definitely tell that Dylan is in his element. His first words to me were, "I've never felt so good about running. It's actually fun again." The feeling I got when he said these words overwhelmed me with joy. I am so happy for him.
Dylan's official meet time was 26:36.8 and he placed 40th out of 82 runners.
