Congratulations CHS!!!!
Today the Christiansburg Cross Country Team once again ran the 30 mile relay across Montgomery County. They do this to raise the funds needed for the team. They don't sell anything, but ask for pledges from the residents of Montgomery County. They don't have a booster club like alot of the other sports teams, but they usse this 30 mile run to get the money for uniforms, team supplies, etc. The great thing is that their coach runs too. He doesn't ask the team to do anything he would not do. He ran 28 of the miles himself. This picture is of Ben, Brandon, and Coach Guynn.
They had a bicycle and police escort thru the county. The town cheered them on.
This is one of the runners who ran 18 of the miles. He needed a break.
This memorial was near the 26 mile mark. Last week there was a relay that came thru Christiansburg that honored the fallen in Iraq. This picture was fatality #3565 and he was 20 years old from New Mexico. This saddened all our hearts.
The entire team ran the last 2 miles together and this is them coming down to the final mile.
Here is coach icing his calves and the team gathering for pizza and drinks.
Last year they raised over $2000 so we hope this year will be even more.
Thanks to all of you who donated!!!!
