Six Must See Boys Match Ups Heading Into 2016 Cross Country State


6A BOYS

Ben Garner clocked the fastest 6A time early in the season at Chickasaw Trails but hasn't quite hit that time since then.  Since then we have seen him race sporadically while rehabbing a nagging muscle injury.  Garner went through the motions at sectionals to qualify - we are hoping he was running reserved to save his body for a spectacular state race.  Homewood's Will Stone seems to have coasted to state qualification as well running 16:54.  If these two are healthy at state it might be one of the best matchups of the day.
