Fox said,” My goal for the rest of the season is to keep improving myself and also as a team.” He also stated, “My favorite part about cross country is the amount of competitiveness.” Juniors Jonah Flemming and Grady Rudolph also placed in the top twenty finishers. Sophomore Matthew McKinnis ran a time of 18:50 and placed fifteenth overall. The boys placed 2nd at the Big Z Invite.
