Tigers Run Past Competition!

Jeremy Eubank

Fresh off Spring Break, the Tigers took a trip to Blue Ridge School for a four team invitational. There was no rust for the Tigers as they stormed past the competition en route to a massive victory after posting one of the highest scores in school history!

The Tigers got off to a roaring start and didn’t look back as they went on to run past Roanoke Catholic, Eastern Mennonite, and Blue Ridge School.

Team Results: 
Hargrave Military Academy – 198.5 points 
Blue Ridge School – 118.5 points 
Eastern Mennonite School – 58 points 
Roanoke Catholic – 35 points

We got off to a good start in the field events and that allowed us to continue that momentum in the running events, stated Head Coach Jeremy Eubank. We threw a lot of guys in a lot of athletes in different events to see what their range is and they responded well.”
