Teacher Fun Run Results from 2007
Mahomet-Seymour has very supportive teachers.
Many of our teachers go out of their way to help our student/athletes
on a daily basis. Our team appreciates the hard work they
do and invites them to join us in a fun run. Our teachers do
a great job of running on little training. Teachers are given
the option of either running 1 mile or 3 miles. Our boys team
is divided into equal groups to race against the teachers.
