2022 Into the Trails Cross Country Meet

Saturday, the young Cougar Harriers from TCS ventured “into the trails” at Locust Grove in Henry County in a meeting of athletes along with fourteen other high schools. Madison Clark led the lady Cougars over hill and dell into 11^th overall (top twenty earn medals) with a time of 26:57 (junior varsity). Frosh Malia Richards raced to 41^st in 35:25, while Hannah Katz competed gamely, but did not finish due to a cold. (Eleanor Gaffneystone was out due to illness).

In the same version of the boys ‘race, Noah Velasco led the Cougar charge through the hot, humid, mixed terrain course across the chute in 63^rd at 27:37. Nick Elliott kicked across the line for 64^th in 27:54. Quique de Castro finished 79^th at 32:57.  Neophyte Eric Born raced to 84^th with his 35:17, as Jack McGrew nipped at his heels in 85^th at 35:32.  Dean Kirksey finished in 89^th with a 42:00 effort. Unfortunately, neither Ryan Gaffneystone nor Noah Withrow were able to compete due to illness. Our thoughts and prayers are with our comrades battling illness, and we wish them a rapid and complete recovery.  Our next donnybrook is scheduled for August 27 at the Stonehaven Classic.  Thank you for your support!
