2020 Preview: Boys cross country set to build off historic season
Fresh off making history last season, the boys cross country team returns one of the top runners in the state in 2020. Junior Evan Prince, who finished third in the area and fifth at state in 2019 as a sophomore, continues to lead the TFS varsity team by example.
The boys squad consists of a strong group of runners, including Prince, Grey Bourlet, and Walker Bailey. The program finished ninth at the state meet last season, and despite losing recently graduated Chris Geiger, should be able to duplicate that success in 2020.
“The external goal is to place higher at state and to improve significantly from last year,” says cross county coach Scott Neal.
“Internal team quests are to strengthen fortitude together, develop distinct leadership and role accountability, and create fun! The goal is to utilize the external and internal goals to create a consistent discipline that is the motivation to see how good each member and the team can be.”
The varsity teams open the season on August 22 at the Northeast Georgia XC Championships in Athens, and the first home meet is slated for September 8 for the annual Cookies ‘n Quotes XC Festival.
