Donna on the Side - Great American Cross Country Festival

Let the Games Begin! Race Day at the Ballantyne Resort. A beautiful, clear, comfortable day. Parents and fans enjoyed the beautiful course as they watched runners weave in and out of sight to finish in the colorful green and orange balloon tunnel of arches at the finish.

A celebrity in our midst! Allen Webb, turned professional who recently signed with Nike, signs autographs and takes pictures with his high school following.	Benson NE team poses with Allen Webb.
