“The boys ran their best race of the season,” said Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason. “I thought they ran well at Central College this past Saturday, and today I think we took another step forward. We had a bunch of PR’s, and I thought it was our best one through seventh place race of the season.”

“Drew Engler ran a sub-18, his fastest time of the season, and Zane Berg finished under 18, in a good field of runners,” said Vargason. “Alex Sonntag ran the first sub-19 race of his career, Tyrell Williams and Bennett Whetstone ran amazing races for us, and freshman Christian Thompson ran his best race of the season. I thought top to bottom our boys did a fantastic job.”
