It's A Clean Sweep!

There's a popular saying that you "Learn More From Losing Than Winning." So it looks like the Knudsen contingency representing the family at Parents Weekend didn't learn much yesterday!

Here are a few stats from the "BYU Alum Run" (which we happened to run the inaugural run in 2000 when Andie was a freshman). The race is in it's 10th year and has gained some momentum and a reasonable following.

The 1st Place OVERALL Female Runner was (druuuuum rolllllll) - Paige Knudsen!

The 1st Place 50-59 Male Runner was Brent Knudsen!

And (yes, this is the shocker), the 1st Place 50-59 Female Runner was Kathryn Knudsen! Okay, so the competition wasn't that challenging. I was 51st overall and the #2 woman in my age group placed 110 overall. Gotta love this new age group!

There is more: The 1st Place Father/Daughter Team Division (you could only enter as 1 team and we thought our chances were highest in this configuration) went to Brent and Paige!

So the BYU Alum Run was A Clean Sweep! 3 Knudsens entered and 3 Knudsens WIN first place medals! WooHoo! In fact, Paige got so excited she heard the wrong number for one of the raffle prizes and went up to accept another prize! Whoops! I guess since we've been embarrassing Paige all weekend it was okay if she embarrassed us!

I was thinking this might be our last Parents Weekend but now we might have to return in 2010 to defend our titles!

In other (slightly more important) winning statistics of the day: BYU beat Colorado State 43-23. Overall, a winning day for the Cougars and Knudsens in Provo, Utah! Rise and Shout!
