We are deeply saddened by the loss of a member of the Oklahoma running family. Our prayers are with Rachel, her family, and classmates during this time.
Today we mourn the loss of Rachel Freeman, a senior at Moore High. Rachel ran with the MHS cross country team. The past 3 years she crossed the finish line of our race as an elite runner. She finished as the first overall woman in 2017 & as the third overall woman in 2018 & 2019.
