Running Eagles Gain Ground to Finish in the Top 5!

This past Saturday, October 23, 2010, The Ridge Creek Running Eagles participated in the Cross Country Championships at Boundary Waters Park in Douglasville, Ga. The Eagles were competing against some truly tough teams, many from schools much larger than RCS, and yet with every RCS runner improving his or her time, the Running Birds managed to finish 5th in a 26 team field. This is quite an accomplishment that earned a measure of respect for the Feathered Striders from RCS in this challenging new league.

Ridge Creek School Team Achievements

The Ridge Creek Soccer and Cross Country teams are in the midst of tough seasons with stiff and experienced opponents, but the RCS kickers and runners are determined to give their all, during each outing. There have been some remarkable individual and team achievements which are not reflected on the scoreboards. On the running birds’ cross country team, several Eagles have completed their races in the top 10 finishers in large fields of runners. The kicking Eagles have seen some strong effort from several dedicated players. In addition, the team has come together to help any member that may be struggling academically. Both Eagle’s teams are displaying sportsmanship that will see them through this tough formative year and, more importantly, will provide lessons that will last a lifetime.
