Cougars at the Race

This past weekend, Saturday, August 29th, the Newnan Cross Country team went to the Bob Blostow Early Bird in Douglas County for their first race of the season.

The Cougars were hoping to make a good impression on the other teams there, and they did just that.

The Cougars were certainly posting some great times with their fastest runner Jonathan Ballantyne running a time of 17:03. Some of his fellow teammates, Sean and Jason Blinco and Stuart Sumner, were not far behind him.

Coach Sean Dailey was very pleased at how the team performed, but he is already looking at weeks to come. He says this week will be one of the hardest weeks of practice to get his runners in winning condition for the next week.
