The Anderson County High track team scored well in a huge meet last Friday and Saturday at Hardin Valley Academy.
“Our numbers are still growing and while they are twice what they were last year, we still aren’t able to compete in the relays,” said Harri- son Calhoun, Anderson County’s coach. “We just don’t have enough to get the relays yet, and we still have a really, really young team.
“We just don’t have
the numbers of the big leagues like Hardin Val- ley or Maryville, but we really held our own and I was really proud.”
