The EP Panther Cross Country team finished the strangest season on record Friday in appropriate fashion, with a virtual awards banquet.
The team and coaches, Tom and Liz Green, hosted a Google Meets event to speak about each member of the team and announce awards.
The Panthers had another successful season with both EP teams awarded East Division TRAC Titles as voted by conference coaches as not all division teams were able to compete head-to-head. The program landed seven athletes on the All-Conference Team.
All-Conference Lady Panthers: Junior-Dylan Chandler, Junior-Madyson Bushaw, Senior-Jorden Robinson
All Conference Panthers: Junior- Andrew Bomleny, Senior-Carter Jepson, Freshman-Jacob Gibson, Freshman-Charlie Link.
Coach Liz Green thanked all those who supported the program during the season including parents and the staffs of the PLT and Erie School Districts.
“The year was very different and definitely not the norm. I know we missed a lot of things, but I appreciate everyone’s willingness to be flexible and I think we were able to grow in new ways and I am thankful for the opportunities we were given” said Green.
