T.R. Miller Tiger cross-country head coach Rob Atkinson continues to be proud of his team of runners on both the boys and girls side of things.
I thought Shelby Youngblood and Taylor Guthrie also ran a great race. For the boys Geoff Youngblood and Brandon Nelson both ran a great race.  It just goes to show how tough the competition was when you see their times and where they finished. We still have room for more improvement and the next two weeks of practice will really go a long ways towards helping us meet our goals.”
The Tigers next race will be in October when they will run again on Saturday October 4, in Pensacola at the Wildcat Invitational.
On Oct. 11, the Tigers will run at the Great Muddy race in Mobile and then will run Tuesday, Oct. 14 in Pace.
The Tigers will then close out their season on Oct. 25 in Milton in the Black Cat Invitational before beginning sectionals.
