Carson Brown, sophomore

The regional meet ended and Carson Brown couldn’t hold in his emotions. The team anxiously awaited to hear if they qualified for state. When they found out, the sophomore was overwhelmed with emotion. 

“I immediately started crying,” Brown said. 

Brown ended up finishing third for his team and 39th overall, helping the team reach state for the first time since 2017.

“I know everyone’s been working hard for this and especially Elijah (Moreno) and Jose (Maldonado),” Brown said. “Everyone’s just been putting in all their effort.” 

Regardless of how the team does, Brown is just excited to be going to state.

“I’m most excited probably just to be running at state,” Brown said. “I can have that title: State Runner.”
