Franklin County’s Joe Davidson- Batesville brought their championship tradition to Franklin County Tuesday night. The Wildcats were not able to perform well enough to come out on top. However, they don’t hand out trophies for winning duel meets. There is still plenty of time to improve. And the Wildcats showed an unbelievable amount of improvement.
We celebrate these improvements we call PRs (personal records). When you get a “PR” it means you ran the best race of your life. It means you’ve never been better than that performance. On Tuesday, Aprill 12th, the Wildcats had 40 PRs. THAT’S 40 PERSONAL RECORDS! 40 times we were the best we’ve ever been. 40 times we celebrated self-improvement. 40 times we’ve had the performance of our life.
