The Lady Golden Eagles came into this race with a lot to run for. With Ashley Phelps out of this race because of the accident. All the Golden Eagles ran for Ashley today with Phelps on their calfs. The ladies ran with all heart and ran the race of the season. We as coaches could never be prouder of all of you.
