From the Clinic Driector:

Coaches and Athletes;

Due to a family health situation, Jeff Gorski will not be able to come present our clinic this year.  He sends his regrets and apologies, but this situation could not be avoided and will require his attention for the rest of the month.  In that light, there is not another gap in either of our schedules to set a make-up date for this season.  Please email Coach Gaines at Bob Jones HS if you have any other questions.  We fully intend to resume the clinic next year and will post the dates when we have them available.

It was announced last night that Bishop Kenny star Colin Barker has committed to run for Auburn University next year.  Barker is coming off an excellent cross country season, despite early season setbacks when he was impeded by nagging illness.  He finished the season with flair by winning the 2A state championship and then surprising many by qualifying for Foot Locker Nationals.  That was his second state title, after winning the 3200m crown in the spring.  Barker's PRs include 4:14 1600m, 9:11 3200m, and a 14:53 5K at Foot Locker South.  Congrats to Colin, his family and coaches, and to Auburn!
