2005 12 Hr Overnight Relay - One for the ages!

105.25 miles! $1500 raised for Hurricane Relief funds! Football, XBox, Frisbee, Mini Tramp, Soccer, Tattoo's, Rugby, Punking, Poker...you name it, the 2005 team tried it! (all within the rules of course).
The night was damp, the air was crisp, the moon was late... but the spirit of Mustang Cross Country warmed the night for a full 12 hours! While runner after runner took the baton for their moment of fame, the team kicked back and had yet another memorable night. Good food and drink (hot chocolate and chicken wings - yeah) were supplied by the parents.
Despite the cold, new friendships were formed while old ones rediscovered. For the first time in Coach Davis' memory, the 4 and 5 o'clock hours featured many awake runners. A dozen or so teammates never did go to sleep.
After completing the 105th and final full mile, the team joined together for a final jog around the track, just hitting the 1/4 mile mark as the clock counted down to 0:00.
After a quick camp teardown, the team eagerly picked up the field (okay, the team was ordered to pickup the field), and by 7:30am Sunday, the only sign of the event was a couple full trash cans.
A big thank you to all the parent volunteers, and the team captains and seniors, who insured a great night. Lets all get some sleep, and keep these great memories close to us for years to come.
