Meet results from Humansville
We had several medalists and several more good races. The course was a little long, so not many PRs, but great races that would have been if it was regular length. The Panthers are peaking at the right time!
Junior High is back in action on Saturday for the State Meet!
High School will race next Saturday for Districts @ Hermitage!
