With the beginning of the 2010 school year, more changes are being seen with the new and upcoming high school in Cumberland County. The Phoenix School joined the TSSAA this year to allow its students the opportunity to participate on an athletic team.
The Phoenix High School is the final school in Cumberland County to have a cross country team.
"I am so proud Principal Rocky Zazzaro saw the need and supported the students desire to participate in sports programs," said CCHS Coach Louie DeLorenzo.
"Dustin Seney, the new cross country runner for the Phoenix, certainly had a great showing to start the season," said CCHS Coach Pat Koehl. "He will be participating in the Region 3A/AA which includes teams from the Chattanooga area. Dustin's first race was a wonderful surprise."
"He has conditioned and trained hard all summer to get to the level he is now. Running 22nd of 208 runners in 96-degree weather says a lot about this young man. His time of 19:10 will only improve with the season," added DeLorenzo.
