Distance - This one of our best distance teams of all-time. I am so impressed with the drive and determination of this team. The team is extremely self motivated and goal oriented. A team's success comes from the character of its athletes not from their talent. #proudcoach.

Freshman Boys

Ty Davis - Has smashed every freshman distance record.

We have our 3 best boy freshman distance runners in school history. Chandler Morgan, Ty Davis and Joey Nokes. All have broke 11:00 in the 3200 and have run faster than 5:01 in the 1600.

Freshman Girls

Brynlee Bartlome, Abigail Coleman, and Nancy Wang are a force to be reckoned with. All have run very impressive times as freshman. With a whole bunch of other freshman working really hard and running really well behind them.

800 - By far the best 800 squad in our history

Matt Parker - 6th all time

Jonny Roy - 4th all time - STATE QUALIFIER

Tracen Warnick - 3rd All time - STATE QUALIFIER

We have had 8 sub 2:00 runners in school history 7 of them have came in the last 4 years.

We have had 11 girls run 2:40 and under. Most in school history by a long way.

Braden Robins - 7th all time

Tracen Warnick - 3rd all time
