Long ago we’re the glory days in Eagle Pass track history when Coach Roberto Olivares and his Brother Chuy took an amazing conglomeration of high quality athletes such as The Pittman Sisters, Rudy Garcia, Joe Escobedo, Rudy De Los Santos, Luis Sanchez and many others to do the same with The Eagle Pass Striders.
The red, white and blue clad (a la Harlem Globetrotters) squad kicked gluteus maximus and took names across the nation in the seventies and eighties.
Now Gracida is also an AAU National Champion in the 4x400 Relay.
Congratulations are in order for his parents coaches and family members on behalf of the sports department here at your Eagle Pass News Gram.
