Clarendon High School runners Gavin Word and Kenny Overstreet are headed to the state level after finishing eighth and eleventh at the Region I 2A Cross Country Meet in Lubbock at Monday.
The junior and sophomore will make the trip to Round Rock to run in the State CC Meet on Sat., Nov. 5. Word’s time for the 5K course was 17:26.12 and Overstreet ran it in a time of 17:31.39.
The duo have been running strong all season with coach Kalen Grahn as their driving force. They have consistently fin-ished in the top 10 at nearly every meet and worked out in disciplined practices to accomplish their goals. Their goal now is to continue to practice diligently and run good races at the State Meet.
“(It was a) very exciting day for us,” Grahn said. “Gavin and Kenny represented Clarendon very well. I thought we could get both our runners in the top ten, and they almost pulled that off. We are looking forward to the next 10 days. Gavin and Kenny have had their sights set on Round Rock from day one. “We did not buy a team cross country shirt, but we will buy a state shirt.”
