Mud Mountain Thank You

I wanted to thank everyone for their help and support of Mud Mountain XV. Because of you help, Mud Mountain was once again a huge success. This year we broke the 700 participant barrier for the first time in history. Thank you to all the runners who battled the heat and the course and all of the parents and athletes that helped to put on the race, along with our 2010 sponsers. Special thank yous to Tom Atwood, race director, and Dr. Hightower, official 2010 starter. As always, thank you for your support and dedication to the Edwardsville cross-country program.
