Suire gunning for Erath school records

Wed, 04/04/2018 - 10:36am Shaun Hearen

Erath High’s Ethan Suire is on a mission to break a couple of school records that has avoided him for four years.
Suire is a distance runner for the Bobcats, who wants to break the school record in the 800-meter run and the 1,600-meter run.
Brennan Bernard owns the EHS 800-meter record at 1:57.71 set in 2001. Cody Bouillion owns the school record of 2:23.73 in the 1600 set in 2005.
With the school records on his mind, Suire took his running to the next level by running at larger meets.
