Pictures from Coach McLendon's Host Run

Members of the boys team line up outside Coach McLendon's door as they prepare to be called in for some pasta, breadsticks, and drinks.
Just before getting ready for static stretching a their run, members of the boys team use Coach McLendon's townhouse to get in some leg swings.

Coach Patrylak got some strange looks from the community as he stood on the side of the trail to capture photos of the boys team.

Official Practice Kicks Off With The 2011 French Fry Run

Geordan Patrylak is busy filling up 40 cups with water for stop number three of the french fry run. Geordan was also responsible for most photos taken at McDonalds.
No, Garrett Sweatt is not holy, but we did say "Holy Cow" with his winning performance in the french fry run. With a belly full of fries, Garrett covered the slightly more than six miles at a 5:34 pace!!!!
EHS senior, Caden Cramsey, appears to be struggling at this point of the course while in McDonald's. Although Caden looks rough, Jay was the only one to get sick in a restaurant (sorry Vickie)!

From left to right are Spencer Burkhart, Ryker Frohock, and Chris Miller. All three athletes competed in their first french fry run. Thank you to all of the volunteers for this event (Coach Mclendon, Vickie Maxwell, Tony Thompson, and Geordan Patrylak) and congratulations to all athletes that finished. So who wants to meet Coach P for some french fries for lunch?
