Bowen has been selected to run for Wings of America in the national cross country championship in February. This is a team comprised of Native American kids from all over the country. He was selected because of his great performances in cross country this year. As a part of preparing for the race, the kids were all invited to participate in a training camp for a week over Christmas break in Albequerque. The director for Wings is a guy named Dustin Martin. Dustin was actually a high school runner on the Wings team when Theo was the coach many years ago. We got to travel with him and his teammates to New York for their race. What a great memory, and a fun connection. Bowen's teammates came from mostly the southwest, and he made some new friends during the week. We are looking forward to an exciting race experience in February in Florida.
