Gillespie Breaks Cross Country Record
(12/10/2021 / TRHS Webmaster)
The baton was officially passed on Thursday night when Terry Paden (TR class of '83) met Griffin Gillespie (class of '22) for the first time. Terry Paden ran cross country for Coach Dana Cash and set the school cross country record in 1982 at the state championship meet with a time of 16:03 (5:09 mile average). He finished 5th that day and got all-state honors. The record had stood for 39 years until this year when Gillespie broke the record at the Woodmont Invite with a time of 15:46 (5:04 mile average). Both individuals will have their names on the track/cross country record board as #1 and #2, and they are the standard bearers for TR distance running.
