Bramhan Matschek also raced well, recording a time of 31:15.
Coach Cyrus Hall's Thoughts &
"I thought the boys ran really awesome today. & They all ran well. Trevor and Josh both hit PRs, Trevor finally broke 27 (minutes) & Josh finally broke 28. And Bramhan was actually only 14 seconds off of a PR."
"Trevor and Josh both thought they had a little bit more in the tank," Hall said. "I think we can see some good things at conference. & We'll just have to see what happens."
"I'm very happy with how things went today. It's a big race, big course, kind of a national championship-type environment. & We couldn't have asked for a better trip, I mean, when you drive eight hours away from home for a competition, you want it to go well. & For us, we can all be really happy about what we did today."
