Winged Foot Foundation's Mitch Johnson Visits the Hillcrest HS Girls' Track Team

With an unexpected showing of The Wing Foot Foundation Founder Mitch Johnson to cheer on the team, the Hillcrest Girls’ Cross Country Team shined despite the terrible weather conditions. Desiree Wilson, Jasmine Curry, and Tirena Moore were medalists at the Illiana Christian Invite.

The Wing Foot Foundation has been sponsoring local athletic programs, bringing new shoes, spikes and running gear to the team. It was great for the girls to finally meet the individual who has done so much for them! “We believe the lessons learned in the classroom and in athletic competition are beneficial to the development of young people,” stated Mr. Johnson. “Our program is truly blessed by Mr. Johnson,” stated Coach Braden.
