Captains Rich Hinman and Todd Young
earned return trips to the State Championships, making them only the 2nd
and 3rd Prep runners to do so. Junior John Soden also earned his
first bid to the State meet with a PR performance that helped take the team to
a fine 8th place finish at the Cities. Also, despite some
off-the-course struggles, the Freshmen took the Prep’s 5th
consecutive AIS title. 9 championship medals were won.
