Hunter Hoover and Evan Leist grew up in Pike County competing against one another in multiple sports, and now they share the same title: NAIA All-American.
Hoover, a 2017 graduate of Waverly High School, went on to run Cross Country and Track collegiately at Shawnee State University.
Leist, a 2019 graduate of Eastern High School, went on to compete in the same sports at Kentucky Christian University.
Both athletes have experienced a great number of athletic accomplishments dating back to their high school days, but none more rewarding than the hardware they brought all the way back to Pike County Ohio from Yankton, South Dakota this past weekend.
