2017 Meet The Team Mahomet-Seymour Boys Cross Country

As a Freshman, Caleb entered our program after being one of the top runners from his junior high cross country and track teams. He was in the top 7 of his team in cross country and in the top two in track. Our team was fortunate to get him. Caleb really stepped it up right away. He ran well over the summer and quickly adjusted to high school running. He often showed as much guts if not more than our older runners in workouts. He opened up his high school career at the Charleston Invitational. In this varsity race he placed 63rd out of 146 runners. He beat many junior and senior runners. He beat half of the team's #5 runner which showed he would be the best on their team. Caleb ran a 19:10 which earned him a spot on our fastest top times list for freshman.

Caleb ended up beating some amazing runners to place 11th. He earned a medal by placing so high. He ran a personal best 2 mile time of 12:02 on a tough course. His fast time earned him a spot on our team's fastest freshman times list at the Springfield Invitational. Caleb earned a spot on the News-Gazette Prep Cross Country Leaders List in September.
