He ran a 16:09 5K, which equals to three 5 minute, 10 second miles in a row! This takes down a record that has been in place for 15 years, since 2009! The top 5 Varsity boys - EJ, Grant Gray, Talan Bogart, Jack Brown, and Phillip Bowers - matched the fastest average team time in school history, also from 2009.
