Favorite quote from today: “….I feel like fainting, waking up, throwing up, then fainting again….” 🙂
But, don’t pay any attention to that. They all did fine and the winner came in at just over 24 minutes…quite a few high schoolers would be happy with that time! It’s an amazing thing they’ve started here. Click here to see the gallery….but watch the video below first…
Normally I'd toss this one out, but really liked it for some reason. Emily and Caitlin crossing the finish line near the end....after escorting 5th graders around the course. For the photographers who might be interested, this was taken at 1/50 sec, f/2.8, and ISO 10,000! Yes, it was getting dark out there!
After two regular season losses to Strasburg this year, Madison defeated Strasburg tonight in the finals of the Bull Run District Tournament 3-2 (25-23, 17-25, 25-14, 18-25, 15-9). With the win, Madison earns the #3 seed in next week’s Division 1, Region B Tournament and will host (I’m assuming Luray) on Tuesday night at 7:00pm. The seeds in Region B, D1 are:
Riverheads
Altavista
Madison
Nelson
Nottoway
Luray
East Rockingham
Gretna
With the loss, Strasburg will be the #2 seed in next week’s Region B, Division 2 Tournament.
A few celebration photos, right after the winning point in the final set…..

Madison advanced to the Bull Run District Semi Finals tonight with a 3-0 win over Manassas Park (25-15, 25-23, 25-15). Madison will play the winner of tonight’s William Monroe at George Mason quarter final, in Strasburg, on Thursday at 6:00pm.
