Nike Southeast Regionals Championship

The AHS boys team finished fourth at the Nike SE Regional Championships in Cary, NC Saturday. Led by Senior Captain Adam Visokay's second place finish, the team greatly improved upon their 21st place finish last year. Ryan Thomas and Ben Deal were both under 16 minutes with times of 15:50.0 and 15:54.20. Chris Springer ran a 16:31.20, and Will Hunt rounded out the scoring with a 16:59.90. Zach Gentry (17:34.70) and Aaron Elder (17:43.40) finished 6-7 for the team. The team average of 16:05.12 was a second and a half better than the third place team. AHS was predicted to finish 6th or seventh in the most competitive field ever at the SE Regional. The fourth place finish put them in the running for an at-large bid to the finals. Congrats to the team, and to Senior Will Hunt for breaking 17 on his last race.
