LINN Led by Emery Mayfield, who won the first meet she raced in this season, the Fulton Hornets girls cross country team won the 45th Annual Linn XC Invitational Saturday at Linn High School.
Halfway through Saturday’s Class 3 boys cross country state championship race, Southern Boone’s Connor Burns was running by himself. His nearest opponent was half a minute behind him. That margin doubled during the second half of the race.
Being a three-sport athlete at School of the Osage wasn’t enough for senior Brockton McLaughlin, so he decided to join the track and field team this spring. Winning two individual state championships? That’s not your typical “beginner’s luck” outcome.
