At DistancePreps.com our motto is "The Future Runs Now" and to help celebrate the 2013 XC season, we have decided to start highlighting our future stars in a segment called "Frosh of the Week".
 

Nadiria Evans - Ridgeview Bob Hans Invitational (19:54)

Our girls Frosh of the week is none other than Nadiria Evans. Nadiria came on the scene strong by running the fastest time for a 9th grader in all classes and was a huge part of Oak Hall's week one success. The returning 1A team champions found a runner that will help keep them at the top of their game for years to come.

"Nadiria will be a great addition to our team this year. With Nadiria on our team it gives us more depth than last years team. In the few weeks that I have been able to coach her, I see a competitive runner that is willing to try a  new training schedule to better herself not only for cross country, but for track."

- Coach McTureous - Oak Hall School

Mason Jones - Wickham Park Jamboree (16:49)



Choosing Mason was a little more difficult as he was not the fastest freshmen this week. However we admire the fact that as a frosh he helped lead his team to a 2nd place finish at the Wickham Park Jamboree and at one time even lead the race against some great competitors. If Mason keeps this up, there is no doubt that Titusville will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.

There are many factors that come into play when determining the "Frosh of the Week", including; time, place, rank against other freshmen, and overall impact they have on their team. We will not highlight the same Frosh more than once and the honors are purely objective. If you wish to nominate your athlete for "Frosh of the Week" e-mail us at [email protected] with their name and why they are deserving of the honor.
