From the Sideline

“Liam has made tremendous improvement since his freshman year, improving 4 minutes in the 5K. This summer he ran more miles than he ever has in past years, and he has earned his way onto our varsity team. He has a great attitude and is a very “coachable” athlete. Additionally, he is a straight A student in mostly AP classes. In the first league Cross Country meet this season, Liam ran a PR.”

— Coach Jef Rettmann
