Shrine Bowl Run team announced

Twenty-five senior cross country runners made the 2007 Shrine Bowl Run team, announced following the South Carolina High School State Championships Saturday.

The run, that starts in Greenville at the Shriners Hospital and ends at Gibbs Stadium in Spartanburg, is scheduled for Dec. 15.

Runners are selected based on their state meet time and must be a senior.

Those chosen run segments of the 32.7 mile course from Greenville to Spartanburg with the game ball.

Calvin Hudgins (Northwestern) is the head Shrine Bowl Run coach and Nation Ford's Scott Barefield is assisting.

The Shrine Bowl Run in South Carolina was started in 1986 by Everett Stoudenmire, with the help of the South Carolina Track and Cross-Country Coaches Association. The Shriner's hospital for Children has received more than 51 million dollars from Shrine Bowl Games across the United States. Four hundred and seventy-five thousand children have been rehabilated at the Shriner's Hospitals. The first Carolina Shrine Bowl game was played in Charlotte in 1937.

The Shrine Bowl runners are escorted by the South Carolina Highway Patrol and are managed by the Shriners of the Jamil Temple. The 2007 and future Shrine Run Bowls are in memory of Stoudenmire, whom passed away Jan. 30, 2006.
