Eva Logsdon had an excellent week for the Highland XC team this past week bringing home 2 medals and ran a 23:08 at the Brian T. Simpson Invite last Saturday at Gans Creek, which is the home of the State Championship Course. This marked her PR for the season and career, besting her 2024 State Championship Race time by 7 seconds!
Senior, Nathan Caudill sets another PR at Monroe City on Friday running the 5k in 19:10 and bringing home the 13th place medal. Super proud of Nathan - 3rd time this season he has bested his PR & 2nd time in the last week. Nathan's previous PR was a 19:12, which he ran last Saturday at Gans Creek, which was held on the State Championship XC Course!
1st graders had a Bat Museum Day. They learned all about bats and then created their own bat habitats. It was fun to see everyone's knowledge and creativity!
Some days it just hits me how lucky I am to do what I do. I’m so proud of this team — the heart, the fight, the way they show up for each other every single day. We have incredible senior leadership, a group of kids who work their tails off without needing the spotlight, and a coaching staff that pours everything into this program. I love this job, and I love these people. Overwhelming pride doesn’t even begin to cover it. Back to Back District Champs!! It's a great day to be a Cougar!
