Wow. What a day. In the State Championship both boys finished in the 18's for time and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! This season is over and I'm a tad emotional about it.
I'll say it one more time. I'm so proud! 👏 Good job Baylar and Corey!! The entire cross country team made my first year coaching a memorable one. I already can't wait for next year! -Coach Eads
