Athlete Accomplishments: September 2019

September initiated fall racing season – and it was a strong start for Team Norris Running athletes! September included multiple tune-up races and goal races. Even though some runners still dealt with summer heat, it was a month of breakthroughs and affirmations of hard work paying off.
