Coach’s Corner!
We’re proud of how our athletes competed today. The girls showed great progress with multiple runners finishing in the top half of the race, and Anna breaking into the top 10. On the boys’ side, having three runners finish in the top 7 overall is a huge accomplishment, and Shawn’s sub-9 performance sets the tone for the season. Both groups continue to show improvement with each race, and I’m excited to see their growth as we move forward. Great job Lytle JH XC!
Let’s continue to Be the Tide!
