HUGE two days for Jordan Romero
To close his very successful Cross Country running season, Jordan and only a select group of his team of 50 made it to Mt. SAC in Los Angeles to race the very prestigeous Cross Country event. Thousands of kids from all over southern California battled the 10o degree temps and the notoriously tough run course. Jordan, amongst hundreds of 8th grade runners, placed somewhere in the top 20…and was just a few seconds off the winning Big Bear runner, David. Fantastic effort David… staying at Big Bear’s TOP 8th grade runner, and Jordan becoming a solid #2 of Big Bear middle school…a significant advancement this year. Will he run Cross Country next year?… on the prestigeous Big Bear High School Cross Country team…that consistently produces national champions…and of course RYAN HALL, U.S.’s #1 Marathoner??? We’ll see.
Jordan on the heals of David
THIS JUST IN!!!!!!
Jordan, less than 24 hours after his amazing Cross Country Run effort, lines up at the 21mile Mountain Bike Cross Country race known as RIDE IN THE ROCKS.
Finishing time, 2:10:03.
12 place amongst 55 adult men!!!
Phone report: “Dad, I loved it. The course was hard, but I felt so strong”.
WHAT’s NEXT???
Jordan is DYING for ski season to start, could be a month or more away…in the mean time we’re trying to get his new INTENSE SLOPE STYLE Downhill Mountain Bike Running, and that will be good adventures. Additionally, the strength and mountain training will continue in preparation for upcoming expeditions.

FAST NEW SHOES!

Take care.
