Another week of Mississippi cross country is in the books, so we're back to highlight more athletes through the Most Improved Series! Each week, we'll spotlight one meet and highlight athletes who made the biggest jumps compared to their performances at the same meet last year.

This week, we're featuring The Opener

With an improvement of over seven minutes, Easton O'Neil is the most improved athlete from The Opener. Behind him, Grayson Hughes from Kosciusko High School improved by over five minutes to finish with a time of 20:37.

Many other athletes made big improvements, so check out the rest of these athletes to see how much these Mississippi athletes improved!
