Sulphur Springs Cross Country Coach Ross Hicks Says Teams Took A Small Step Back on Saturday
Wildcats and Lady Cats Cross Country Coach Ross Hicks said his teams ran hard at a UT-Tyler meet on Saturday (September 7) but he said their times where not there they wanted them to be. He said they took a small step backward. The Lady Cats finished ninth out of 21 teams while the Wildcats were 16th out of 24 teams. He said he felt his runners learned from the race. The Lady Cats were again led by senior Sydney Washburn, who Coach Hicks said ran a time about like she did the week before. Laney Hurst was next for the Lady Cats followed by Maurie Flecker, Mattie Bridges and Makayla Jimmerson. The Wildcats were led by Christian Palomino followed by Jose Mejia, then Evan Patrick, Camden Fuller, Alan Hernandez and Roberto Torres. This Saturday the Wildcats and Lady Cats will get the chance to try out the course where the regional meet will be held in late October. The UTA Invitational will take place at the Jesse Owens Sports Complex in Dallas
