It was a HOT day to run at Blue Springs Elementary on September 27! This was the site of the Limestone County Cross Country meet. Runners from Elkmont, Athens, Athens Bible School, Ardmore, Clements and West Limestone participated. Both the boys and girls varsity teams from Elkmont had awesome races with 13 of our runners setting either a new personal record (PR) or running their best race so far this season! Coaches and parents alike are PROUD of our running Red Devils!
