Cougar Relay Champions & week 3 notes

Golden Eagles –

This past week gave us our first meets. It is always great to have that first meet to shake off the rust or to get the nervousness out of the way. The full results for the Region 8 quad meet can be found here. Tri Meet @ salem Thanks for everyone who participated in this meet. This past weekend gave us a chance to compete in the Cougar Relays. Congratulations to the whole TEAM for being the TEAM Champions of this meet of 16 schools! There were so many highlights that we don’t have time to mention in this post, but will do so at practice. For the time being congrats to everyone on our whole TEAM, well done, we as coaches are very pleased with where our TEAM is at right now. Thank you to all of you who competed at this meet and who were willing to jump into whatever event we needed. As many of you saw there are several ways you can help contribute to our TEAM. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When we get full results we will post them here.
