You may have seen the 2024 Tiger Cross Country team sporting these PINK shirts this fall. They chose that color to honor those that have been affected by breast cancer. Here, Mylie Crawford of W7 Design is presenting a check to the team. W7 Design and the Tiger XC team donated the profits made from t-shirt sales back to the Richardson County Cancer Fund. These runners continue to make their coaches proud even after the season is over. Way to go Tigers! (team members, Hayden Findlay and Ryker McCullough were absent at time of photo)
