The running Red Devils are midway through the season and we are seeing improvement from race to race. A few of our runners are battling minor injuries and Coach Pugh is working with them as they heal and prepare for the big end of season races. The next cross country meet is in Decatur at Point Mallard Park on Saturday, October 13. The girls are scheduled to run at 11:00 and the boys at 11:40. Why don’t you come on out to cheer on our Running Red Devils?!?!
