T.R. Miller cross county coach Rob Atkinson said he was proud of his team’s performance Tuesday in the home meet.
“I was extremely pleased with our effort and times in today’s race,” Atkinson said. “The team is improving each week because of the work they are doing in practice. Today’s meet was a huge success in spite of the weather. This meet was a practice run for our runners and parents helping with the T.R. Miller Cross Country Challenge on Saturday October 4. There will be at least 25 teams in this meet. Teams will be traveling in from Mobile, Montgomery, and the Pensacola area that weekend.”
Atkinson said he feels like TRM has one of the top courses in the state and this event will only get larger each year they host it.
“Our course is a true cross country course that actually allows parents, coaches and spectators to view the runners while they are competing,” he said. “This is very rare for most cross country courses. I ask all to come out and support our Tigers on Saturday October 4. Varsity girls will start at 8:30 a.m. followed by the varsity boys at 9:15 a.m.”
