Mill Springs Meet #2 Recap

Yesterday the Cougar Cross Country team traveled to Mill Springs Academy to compete in the 2^nd Invitational at Mill Springs Academy. Both teams improved immensely with Madison Clark leading the ladies with a time of 25:04 placing 4^th overall. Freshman Malia Richards strode in 19^th place with a time of 31:01. Freshman Hannah Katz conquered the course placing 21^st with a time of 33:33. Freshman Eleanor Gaffneystone fought the good fight by placing 25^th with a time of 35:46. Kudos to the ladies for delivering great performances.

Unfortunately, due to inconsistencies for the High School boys race on Mile split, the placement for the boy’s race was incomplete; however, the boys performed well with Junior Noah Velasco leading the team with a time of 22:17. Senior Nick Elliott dominated the course with a new personal best of 24:02. Sophomore Eric Born ran mightily with a time of 29:35 while Junior Jack McGrew followed closely with a time of 30:24. Freshman Dean Kirksey set a new standard of time for himself by running a 36:57. Ryan Gaffneystone could not compete due to academics- we hope to see him in the next meet at AAC to make a comeback. Thank you for all of your support- go Cougars!!
