Y Cup Relay

Teams of 3 elementary school students will each run one mile of the 5K course. Teams from all grades will compete for their team to determine which school wins the prestigious Y Cup for the 25-26 school year. This year’s Y Cup Relay will be run in honor of Coach Jerry Webb who was a beloved Physical Education teacher at Highland School and an active part of the Y Cup Relay since it began.  His support and enthusiasm for this event was contagious and resulted in a great turn out of young runners.
