Medals were presented by Corey McElhaney, Head Track & Field/Cross Country Coach at SBU. Two ECHS athletes placed in the top 15 – Olivia Bryson, 10th place overall in Junior High, 1.5 mile Class 1A through 5A Division and Drew Steuck, placed 15th in the 5K Varsity Boys Class 1A Division. The Buffalos had a great first meet. New personal records were set and medals carried home. Coaches, Kelly Bryson  and Travis Bryson were very proud of their team.
