Top performer for the boys at the meet, SHS Junior, Brad Hodkinson said, “I thought I was going to do really well coming in and stay in the front of the pack, but at the two-mile I got passed and ending up finishing in fifth."
The SHS girls top performer Senior, Hannah Bernston said, “I expected to race well and hopefully get a personal record, I didn’t get a personal record and I think I could do better."
