2013 Meet The Team Mahomet-Seymour Boys Cross Country

As a Freshman, Tristan joins us with junior high cross country running experience. Tristan is a quiet runner, but leads by example. Tristan showed us in early season workouts that he just doesn't give up. In workouts that would have made earlier year runners quit early, Tristan shows great inner strength by pushing through them. Tristan is a great addition to our team. Tristan opened up his high school career with a time of 26:26. He ran a smooth first race at the Charleston Invitational. Tristan had a major lifetime personal best at the Springfield Invitational. He smashed his previous best of 16:10 with over a minute improvement. He skipped the 15s and ran a 14:58.
