Over 450 laced up their running shoes and braved the cold and rainy weather Saturday morning to participate in the Eva Strong Memorial Run.  Eva Mireles was one of the two Robb Elementary School teachers who perished in the May 24th tragedy.  Family members of Eva Mireles organized the event.

“Mireles was in her 17th year of teaching in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and held certifications in special education and bilingual education.

A post from Crossfit.com stated, In addition to regularly running before school, she also enjoyed hiking, and friends and relatives recall she could be found in her CrossFit gym almost every day after school. Earlier this year, she participated in the CrossFit Open for the ninth time.”
