The current FHN boys cross country team had a very successful season, but it boils down to a lot more than just success. Even outside of the results, the team felt very happy with how the season went.
“I honestly feel like every meet we had someone PR,” freshman Colin McGuire said. “We all improved a ton.”
Even with the season starting fairly rough with competitive meets at McNair and Forest Park, the team did well, having multiple runners finish in the top 30 of their races for the boys and the girls and quite a few runners setting PRs for themselves. (Personal Record). Even with the talent on the team, the overall moral of the team had really improved their performances each week.
“I think we have a really close team and I really do think that helps when you are trying to build up a team, and that was a big part of our success we had,” McGuire said.
Overall, across six meets this season, junior Andrew Head and sophomore Kevin McGuire, were top performers with PRs at 18:45 for Head and 19:35 for Kevin.
“I really loved how our team progressed through this season, I really loved how tight knit of a group we are, and I couldn’t ask anything more from a team for my senior year,” senior Nolan Walters said.
