Sectional Recap

What a season it’s been for our Tigers! 🧡🖤 For our final team race of the year, we wanted to share one combined post to celebrate all of our amazing runners. Competing in one of the toughest sectionals in the state, our Tigers gave it everything they had — and we’re thrilled to have three runners advancing to State next Saturday at Detweiller Park! 🙌

So many great memories were made this season, and we couldn’t be prouder of how every Tiger raced and pushed themselves to be their very best. For some, this was their last race in an Olney XC uniform, and for others, it’s just the beginning — but the discipline, heart, and grit you’ve shown will carry far beyond the course. 🧡

Even without him, the Tigers stepped up big and earned their spot at Sectionals next Saturday in Mattoon! 💪

Cross country isn’t just about one lead runner — it’s about the team. And today, every single Tiger showed what that word truly means.
