“Dylan has been one of those runners who surprises me every time,” Austin head coach Tony Einertson said. “He’s got a lot of heart and he works hard.”
Madison Overby, a seventh grader, took 12th overall to lead the Austin girls as Haley Splinter was out with an illness.
“This was a high quality meet and it was a nice performance by Madison,” Einertson said.
