I am so proud of all the athletes. They have been working hard all summer and that work is paying off. I am also very proud of my assistant coach Bobby Lyons. He has been running with the athletes all summer helping these athletes to be ready to compete. Our next meet is August 20th at Holdenville. Also the Cross Country would like to invite everybody to our Mock Meet right here in Bristow at Chuck West Fieldhouse on Aug. 27, 2022, at 8 a.m.
