(I started uploading pictures at 9:30 am Sunday. All the pictures are now uploaded, as of 5:45 pm on Sunday, 11/12/07.)

Our family has a long history with this event. We went to our first New England Championship in 1990, to support our older daughter. She competed in the event for four years and was New England Champion in 1993. Because we went to support her, we have no pictures of her competing in or winning this event.

I coordinated and directed the design and construction of Thetford Academy's trail in 1991. I maintained the trail and was meet director of its cross-country events until I retired from them in 2003.

After ending my meet and trail director work, I started going to the New England Championship to take pictures of Vermonters. This year, it was my goal to take a picture of every student who competed. (There are, of course, more pictures of Vermonters.) In the end, I think I took a picture of nearly every student who ran in this race.

I say this every event: this is a volunteer activity for me. I am not compensated, in any way, shape, or form, for taking these pictures. I receive nothing from the printing of the pictures.

It is fun (and encouraging) for me to hear comments about the pictures.
