"The
race itself was an exciting one to watch. We were in third
place at the half-way point trailing only perennial champions LAPD and
LA Sheriff’s and creating quite a stir among the other
teams, many of whom wanted to know more about the hard working
lifeguards and rangers in the bright blue socks. What a feeling of pride! In the latter half of the race, we engaged in an
exciting back and forth duel with the CHP team which eventually edged us
out for sixth place. As our final runner came across the
finish line, the race announcer too commented on the socks, so the
team presented him with a pair. In his opening statement at the
awards ceremony he held the socks up and gave State Parks a shout out
in front of 4,000 law enforcement personnel and their
supporters. Our goals for this year were ambitious but we met them and
next year, we believe we can be even
stronger as a team."
