Strong Start at Dueling Summits Cross Country Meet
Our Tift County Middle School Cross Country team had a fantastic showing yesterday at the Dueling Summits Cross Country Meet! Our boys team placed 4th and girls placed 10th.
With hundreds of runners competing, our boys made their mark with three runners finishing in the Top 25, an impressive accomplishment in a highly competitive field.
Jordyn Neloms
Jax Bryant
Erik Clements
Our girls had an equally exciting day, with every runner recording a personal record (PR)! Their hard work, determination, and commitment to improving showed on the course.
We are incredibly proud of the effort our entire team put forth today. What a great way to start the season! The best is yet to come! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💙
