Coach Corner

"At the Bobcat Invitational, my men and women showed what dedication looks like in motion, every stride, and against stiff competition. They ran not just for times, but for each other pushing through fatigue, embracing the challenge, and proving that true endurance is built on perseverance, unity, and heart."
