Bronco senior Kenny Overstreet has been pounding the streets and knocking on the door of a state appearance all season long. The runner has been consistently in the top ten finishers all year and Monday reaped the benefits of his hard work. Overstreet finished seventh in the Regional Meet held at Mae Simmons Park in Lubbock and punched his ticket to the State CC Meet to be held in Old Settlers Park in Round Rock on November 3.
His time for the three-mile course was 17:17.90, which was a little over two minutes off the winning time set by Steven Quintanilla of Sundown. The Broncos finished in 16th place as a team.
“It was a very rewarding day for Kenny,” coach Kalen Grahn said. “He was committed to getting back to the state and he dropped his time by twenty-four seconds on this course. Kenny is a very hard working and humble young man and we have 11 days to keep working to drop more time.”
Gavin Hall finished the race in 55th place with a time of 18:59.50, and Caton Grahn finished 86th with a time of 20:02.50. Jodee Pigg ran the course in a time of 22:21.90 for 132nd place, and Brandon Santos finished in 141st place at 29:32.50.
“Gavin Hall had a very productive day as well,” Grahn said. “He dropped over a minute of time off this course. He did not advance, but he is placing himself in position to be another runner in the future to make a trip to Austin. Caton Grahn has come out to run for us to make a team and I am very grateful for his contribution. Jodee Pigg ran a competitive race and he is in position to go to the next level as well. Brandon Santos has been a reliable steady runner for the past four seasons. He will be missed.”
The Lady Broncos also ran at Regionals finishing 14th as a team led by Madi Smith, who finished 26th with a time of 13:06.80. Lillie Dale was 71st at 13:55.10, and Aubrey Jaramillo was 95th with a time of 14:24.20. Emeri Robinson was 111th at 14:48.90, and Brooke Duncan ran the course in 15:05.00 for 124th place. Gracie Shadle was 140th with a time of 15:30.80, and Brandalyn Ellis was 142nd with a time of 15:31.60.
