BRISTOL, Tenn. — The annual Run for the Hills meet, traditionally the kickoff to cross country season in the area, features one of the toughest courses around. On Saturday morning, the course in the shadow of South Holston Dam became even tougher — even a quagmire. The mud and sloshy ground made for slow times and had a “real” cross country feel like the sport has in Europe. Emerging with team titles were Daniel Boone’s boys and Dobyns-Bennett’s girls. On the individual side, D-B senior Emma Russum came up with her first-ever win in a high school cross country race after finishing in 19:58.9.
