Top Returners

Evan Loughridge

Established himself as one of D2’s better runners last fall. Evan brought his personal best down from the mid-16’s to 15:20 and was a consistent sub-16 figure after spending much of his sophomore year in the 17’s. The year ended with a Region 16 crown and 10^th place (his first All-State) at Division 2 State.

Paul Moore

Established himself as one of D2’s bett.. wait am I writing the same thing? Found a similar trajectory to Evan, his late season containing many heroics. Gargantuan PR at MITCA and an 11^th place at State. More to come on these two athletes…

Ethan Sandula

Comparing year to year, Ethan underwent powerful change in a few track events. His 800m decreased from 2:19 to 2:05, his 3200m from 9:53 to 9:35.

Zach Newman

If you take a 17-flat kid and ask him how his track season went, I guarantee Zach will have one of the better answers. His 4:32 in the 1600m ranked 13^th amongst Division 2 sophomores.

Gabe Maciag

Four freaking minute jump from his freshman to sophomore year. If time isn’t enough, consider this: at the 2021 SEC Reserve race, he placed 151^st. The 2022 version? 14^th.

Wyatt Larson

In the heat at Possum Hollow, managed a 20:08 opener. Seven weeks later, in the cool conditions at the SEC Championship, completed the season with an ending effort more than 2 minutes faster.

Kyle Osborne

One sub-18 on his cross resume, but perhaps more in store with his 11:08 at the tail end of his track season?
