El Dorado’s senior boys finished second and junior high boys won the SAU Lois Davis Cross Country Invitational Saturday. The Wildcats’ Zachary McMillon was the overall winner, taking first in the senior high division with Julian Marquez winning the junior high boys’ race.
El Dorado’s cross country program has been quietly running in the right direction. Under the guidance of Coach John Koonce, the Wildcats could be the best ever at the school this season.
“If everything holds, it’ll be the best varsity boys’ team we might’ve ever had. They’re looking very good,” said Koonce.
HOT SPRINGS - El Dorado’s girls finished second Tuesday in the 5A South Track & Field Championships, hosted by Hot Springs Lakeside. The Wildcats finished third in the boys’ competition.
Earlier in the week, El Dorado’s DeAndra Burns Jr. encouraged fans to come and watch the Oil Belt Relays and see him “make fast people look slow.”
He wasn’t lying.
