Impressed with competitor

Editor's note: The following letter to the editor was sent in response to the story "Brotherly competition helps young Zalma cross country program make strides."

I want to take a moment to wish our competitor luck as we set to begin our 2014 Cross Country season. As the coach for St. Vincent Cross Country, I really appreciate the level of commitment to the sport exemplified by Zalma. I look forward to a healthy and competitive season from our runners and look forward to squaring off against them again in out district competition on Nov. 11.

TERRY W. WOOD, coach, St. Vincent Cross Country, Perryville, Missouri
