On November 6, the MUS varsity cross-country team traveled to Nashville's Percy Warner Park Steeplechase Course to run in the state championship and finished 5th in the meet to top off what has been a wonderful season led by underclassmen runners. Brentwood Academy took the gold Saturday with 55 points. Also finishing in the top five were the giants of East Tennessee, McCallie (2nd), Knoxville Webb (3rd), and Baylor (4th).
Individually, the Owls competed well. Five of our seven runners finished in the top 50 with junior Hunter Adams (16th) leading the way with a time of 16:11. The rest of the team also ran hard in the competitive final meet: Donald McClure (19th), Ken Haltom (35th), Stephen Counce (42nd), Peter Zanca (43rd), Oliver Green (63rd), and Matt Dowling (71st).
The Owls capped off a great season Saturday, and they now can look forward to a season next year in which they lose none of their top-seven runners.
