Mount Vernon High School

On Tuesday, the MVHS Boys Cross Country team ran a 4K at Princeton. Team scores are not kept, medals and ribbons are not handed out as the meet is a preparation-type meet to help runners prepare for their first official 5K. The guys continue to improve their times as they are learning to "race" longer distances. Sophomores Mason Hagan and Ryan McCollum ran as official racers as they have their 10 practices in. Mason Hagan ran through the finish in just under 20 minutes (19:59). His running partner, Ryan McCollum completed the course nearly 4 and a half minutes faster than a year ago breaking 21 minutes (20:45). As they continue to work toward completing the required number of practices, Mason Suits, Brendan Hubbard and Malachi Spainhoward will round out our team of 5. They are working hard and we are seeing practice times improve greatly for these guys! Results from Boonville will be posted next. Keep working hard, guys!
