"This was a unique race in that each team of runners was tied together with a rope for the first two miles, then they dropped the rope for the last mile and finished the race as individuals," said Tiger cross country coach Doug Root.

"It was great for the slower runners on the teams as they were encouraged and pulled, and in some cases pushed, by the faster runners," he added.

The Tigers will run at the Bob Firman Invitational at Eagle Island State Park on Sept. 25.
