Sobotta | | | | | | More than 2,000 runners, walkers and strollers filled the drizzly streets of downtown Lafayette for the Lafayette Res Run Oct. 22, along with dozens of four-legged furry family members. Thirteen-year-old Caden Ehrhorn, an eighth-grader at Stanley Middle School ran the 5K in 17 minutes and 14 seconds, which made him the first student in the district to put his foot over the finish line, and put him in third place overall. "It felt really good because I improved from last year," Caden said. "This was my third time at the Res Run. It's great to have so many people out here. It shows that we have a big community of people that we can rely on." Abbie and Dave Ehrhorn beamed with pride, as their pet Ruby wagged her tail, while posing for a picture. "I love living and working here," Abbie Ehrhorn, who is also a teacher at Burton Valley, said. "It's such a special place." Dave Ehrhorn was at the Res Run to cheer on his son Caden, but he couldn't help noticing who showed up. "It's great to see so many teachers and administrators out here supporting the kids," he said. "I really hope that the teachers in the district get the raise they're asking for." |
