COACHES COMMENTS:
“We got some very good efforts from all the athletes. Hermosillo bettered her time on this course by almost two minutes from a year ago. Ridenour just missed by six seconds of tying is time from 2025. Rachael Bousquet absolutely ran well in her first race ever. Hailey Millard almost dropped three minutes off her time here from last year. Alex Snyder dropped a minute and 20 seconds from a year ago. The new athletes performed well, we just don’t have the initial mark until today. (August 28). It was very good team effort across the board from the kids. Great effort today TEAM!”
