McFarland Dash by the River - Elkmont Cross Country

Sept 11, 2014

The Red Devils Cross Country teams traveled to McFarland Park on September 11th for the McFarland Dash by the River. This is a new XC venue and will be the location of the 4A – Section 3 meet. This race provided a great opportunity for the Red Devils to check out the course so that there would be no surprises at Sectionals. With the races starting in the late afternoon, the runners had to deal with the heat and humidity once again. Despite that, several of our runners, once again, improved their performances and recorded either a new personal record (best ever time) or season best (best time this season) on a challenging 3.1 mile course!

Chance Bailey continues to lead the boys team and finished with a time of 18:28 and a 9th place finish! The remainder of the boys team finished as follows:

Chase Prater – 19:03 (SB)
Tiyler Walts – 20:53 (SB)
