The sun shined--no, the sun beat--on September 17 in Steelville, where the cross country boy’s team won the Steelville Invitational for the second year in a row, with frontrunners Nathan Ford and Julia McIntyre taking first in both varsity races. With temperatures reaching upwards of 90 degrees, this was a hot one.
The Shamrocks couldn’t be bothered by the boiling temperatures.
Coach John Tucker says, “looking at the times, both my boys and my girls teams ran well. We’ve been running in the heat and we’ve been hydrating well, so I really don’t think it was a factor for us.”
