Coach Pugh's Thoughts:
Great day for EHS XC at Cold Springs today! Boys 3A section 3 Champions and girls 2nd place!! Headed for state on Nov. 10th. Could not help but remember the days when we didn't even have enought athletes to field a team! The hard work these kids have put in that started as summer runs in May (strictly volunteer), camp, practices and races is amazing and inspiring! Elkmont posted 4 all section runners and the winner of the 3A boys race, Tyler Helms. Kids that do what you tell them in practice and never question the reasons are what this team is made of!! Very proud of their attiudes and their abilities and the results they bring each race! Go EHS XC!
