Running Redhounds Track Teams finish second in Class 2A Region

Corbin’s Running Redhounds have secured their bid to the state tournament after finishing second at the regional tournament in Harlan on June 2.

The men’s team ranked second out of 13 teams with a total of 137 points. The women matched the men’s ranking by also coming in second with a total of 78.5 points.

A total of 30 students will participate in the state tournament.

“We are in a really tough region,” said Corbin High School Track and Field Coach Tyler Harris. “The last several years, state champs have come out of this region, so for us to be runner-up, all the hard work that we put into it, this just makes it all worth it.”

Harris said that the program has been building for a long time.

“We have been hoping to be a contender and one of the top teams in the region, and obviously carry on to state,” said Harris. “We are getting there, and we are going to keep at it and hopefully this is a sign of something that we will be able to do on a consistent basis.”

Looking forward to the state tournament, Harris said his competitors fight and focus are what makes him the most proud.

“I think pretty much all year long we have gone to meets and it has been business like and we have never backed down from anyone,” said Harris. “I appreciate that because we coach that, and we lay it out as an expectation. For them to actually execute that and compete with confidence and pride, that means a lot.”

At the state tournament, Harris said he is confident that his team will be able to compete with anyone.

“From a potential standpoint, I think we are right there with anybody,” said Harris. “If we can go out there and execute and do what we are capable of, push ourselves a little bit and put ourselves in a position to score some points and surprise a few people, I think we will wind up scoring really, really well.”

The Running Redhounds have a total of 18 seniors.
