Hayesville- The Carney Classic of Hayesville is located at the Hiwassee Dam featuring a gruesome run straight up to the top of the dam itself. With the weather nice and cool, our Swain runners did quite well at this race despite the horrific hill they had to run up. Even though a couple of our girls were missing from this race, our Lady Devils finished second behind Smoky Mountain and ahead of the previous team who beat them, Union County, at Murphy’s home meet. Our Maroon Devils finished the race fourth behind Smoky Mountain, Union County, and conference rival, Murphy. Our cross country teams seem to be running straight to state this year by their placements so far.
Next, our Swain Devils will be running at Cherokee, a pre-conference race, next Wednesday, October 5th starting at 430PM. Come out and support our Devils!
