The 2025 Tullahoma season is underway, and they had some great performances from both their girls’ and boys’ teams at the MSCCA Cookeville meet.

Each of the four teams, TMS boys, TMS girls, THS boys, and THS girls, had a top-three finisher at the event. Lincoln Price for the TMS boys’ team placed third at the event with a time of 12:44 in two miles. Ashleigh Johnson finished third for the TMS girls with a time of 14:14 in two miles. On the high school side of things Lukas Price finished in second place with a time of 18:09 in a 5k, and Katie Grace Nichols finished in third with a time of 21:32 in a 5k.

Last year, the Wildcats had several runners qualify for state, and it looks like they may be geared up to do the same in 2025 with a strong result early in the season.
