Booster Club 5K: Great day to be a Falcon

Two ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ girls smile before the start of the Falcon 5K race.

The weather was gorgeous and Falcon pride in high gear on Sunday during the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Booster Club’s annual Falcon 5K and Fun Run/Walk in Washington Park.

It was the biggest turnout in the seven years of the event’s existence, with more than 500 taking part.

Members of ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­’s Junior ROTC opened the event with a presentation of the colors, and the Albanettes and Troubadours sang the national anthem. Superintendent Kaweeda Adams and ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ County Executive Dan McCoy sounded the air horns that started the 5K, and the race was on. .

The ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High Jazz Ensemble provided great tunes for runners and bystanders throughout the event. ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High cheerleaders were on hand to support the runners and walkers, and the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High Multicultural Club led a dance-off between the 5K and the Fun Run/Walk.

What a great day to be a Falcon!
