Bishop takes first in senior race at Jackson Invitational

Perryville senior Tegan Bishop is in for a good season, if her first race is any indication.
Bishop, who has the Perryville girls school record for time looks to already be in mid-season form. She took first place in the senior race at the Jackson Inviatational.
