From Clinton High School, senior Kaedyn Wilson had an amazing performance. Her time of 18:47 launches her up the Mississippi XC Rankings and is the best way to cap off a season. Kaedyn has been hanging around the top runners in the state all year, but this breakout race really showcases that she has what it takes to be one of the best. With track season around the corner, we'll have to wait and see if she can replicate this performance and take on the other top distance talents in the state.

Due to a spelling issue in her name, Lilly Overby's results were not attached to her profile at the time of the article being posted. That has now been fixed, and she was the fastest girl runner from Mississippi. She placed 60th overall and added to her plethora of stellar performances this year. She started the year off as Mississippi's best, and she held that title through till the end of the season. This race showcases just how hard Lilly will be to beat this track season, as no athlete has been able to scratch her yet.
