2012 GISA AA XC State Campionship
Darton College in Albany hosted the 2012 GISA State Championship on a manicured course that would impress the crowd in Augusta. Running under a cool, dark sky, Arthur Leach raced from the gun into the horde of often unfriendly elbows, knees and metal spikes. His fleet feet knew no quarter as he led our young Cougars into the hunt for spoils. Running in twenty-first place at kilometer one, Arthur appeared confident and relaxed; at the second kilometer, he was in the top fifteen, racing steadily from the banshee-like mob. By the 3 kilometer...

Yesterday, blessed with lower humidity, mild temperature, and fire in their spirit, the varsity Cougar Cross Country Team ran the fasted 5,000 meters of their young lives. Each member of the team demonstrated extraordinary improvement over the course of our ongoing season. In fact, no other team in our conference or region has exhibited such a marked increase in performance racing over glen, heather and moor. Morgan Carrig was the lone standard bearer for the Lady Cougars and earned a hard-fought bronze medal for her valiant...

Yesterday, despite the hot and humid conditions, the Cougar harriers handled the hills-and their competition admirably. Competing with little visible glory, Morgan Carrig placed twelfth among the all-comers meeting of athletes. Perhaps, as of yet, we Cougars can convince at least two other courageous ladies to join in the camaraderie and esprit de corps to field a girls’ team in the Atlanta Athletic Conference (for a mere two races). Five competitors are necessary to cross the finishing line for larger GISA meets. The boys’...

Arthur Leach paced our long-suffering and stoic ironmen with an eighteenth place finish. Awe inspiring Andrew...

As Phil Parker continues to be challenged on his ‘Wellness Walk” against multiple myeloma, there is another challenge that TCS high school teacher and coach, Allen McAdams, just completed. In Phil’s honor, starting on March 31, Allen trekked from The Cottage School to Florida State University, where Phil attended college. For Allen, this endeavor was completed entirely via running, kayaking, and cycling over 350 miles! This is Allen’s personal endeavor to motivate people to pledge time or a meal to assist Phil and Anne during...
