The high school cross country team had a great and slightly dramatic beginning to the season at the Siegel 2-Mile under the Stars race this past weekend! The race began Saturday night but was canceled due to storms before the last heat could run. However, it was then rescheduled for last night, allowing the rest of the athletes to compete. In an awesome display of Tiger Pride, much of the team even came back out to cheer on their teammates. The top 5 boys were Ty Brown, who finished 2nd overall, Blake Nutter, Henry Nance, Harrison Hamby, and Carson Phillips. The top 5 CMS girls were Catherine Zubkus, Zayleigh Anderson, Emma Griffith, Ashtyn Patterson, and Rachel Benefield. Go Tigers!!
