Coach Montgomery pictured here with his two Seniors. Micah Gwynn on the left and Ethan Edwards to the right.

Coach actually let me help out, just like Vickey Ritchie ! Spent part of the time filling water 💧 cups 🥤 for the runners 🏃‍♂️ and then playing Traffic Director once the Deputy had to head down to the Homecoming Parade.

This one includes our Injured Runner, at the expense of Ethan Edwards.

The young Lady 👩 to the right of Coach Montgomery will appear in a separate story before too long. Very well spoken individual 👏

Coach brought the Big Guns 🔫 out today as Mrs. Shannon Dalton was his assistant for the meet. Getting to talk education with Mrs. D is the highlight of any day..

Our Athletic Director trying hard to help me catch the Young Ones as they started the 3rd and final Race 🏁 of the Day….
