“People followed me and helped me finish.” Freshman Josh Wade states about the Columbus Cross Country meet on Tuesday September 27th, 2022. At the race, Wade was struggling to keep running so two boys from southeast started running with him to keep him going. This led to four or five other schools running with him and encouraging him to finish. “It was very wholesome,” says Junior Moneaquea O’Shields. Coach Kristalyn adds, “I actually gotta shout out to the Southeast boys, there was two or three boys from Southeast that ran the last mile and a half with him, it’s one thing to kinda do it at the end, but it’s another thing to be with him on the back stretch, ended up being a pretty cool moment there.”
