Coach Randi McMahon was asked for her thoughts about the upcoming season and she noted: “The kids have been putting in a lot of miles in the hot, humid heat. Many kids have put a good amount of miles in this summer and I can tell it is paying off at practice. I look forward to getting the season started. Myself and the kids are excited to have districts at Adams Central this year. We will be running at Elks Golf Course which is a course with little to no hills.”
The Red Raider Cross Country team is looking forward to their meets this year and looking forward to see support out on the courses for the upcoming season for the team. They have worked very hard and will continue to work very hard the next couple months. Best of luck this season! Lets make it a good one!
