Nondalton Cross-Country Meet By Blazer

           

We left for our one and only cross-country meet on September 14, 2011. First thing we did when we got to Nondalton was put our stuff up in the boy’s area. Some of us played ball or relaxed and chatted with our friends until Ed told us what we were going to do next, which was go walk the course. So we all got ready and then had to wait until they gave the okay. It seemed to take forever just to walk the course. After walking the course we had dinner, played ball, and hung out with our friends. At 10 o’clock we had to get ready for be. “Lights out” was at 10:30, but no one went to bed until a little after 12 o’clock.

The next day we woke up at 6:40 am to take a shower. At 8 o’clock we all ate breakfast and then did an icebreaker. An icebreaker is something you do in the morning to get you pumped up and ready for the morning. The game was called “Hit the Deck.”  Later on we went into our leadership activities. One of the activities was about volunteering. Another thing we did was a community service project, which we were to fill potholes because one of the machines they normally use broke down a few years ago. The last activity we did was archery. Now that was my favorite class because I like shooting the bow. Also it is my favorite weapon.

The race was going to start later in the day, at 4:15 for the girls and 5:15 for the boys. In first and second place for the girls were Ayla Rickteroff from Newhalen and Alicia Hobson from Kokhanok. The first and second places for the boys were Johnathon Mckennet and William Clark, both from Port Alsworth.

The same day as the run we had a volleyball scrimmage. We made four teams and my team won them all. Our team name was The Dragonflies. After the volleyball scrimmage we had a dance. The dance was okay but I wasn’t there the whole time cause I was playing around with my friends somewhere else, having fun, playing tag or finding something to do. The last day there we cleaned up the school, where we slept and the areas our stuff was in. Then we had free time until the plane came to pick us up. That was fun.
