Three meets.  Three 1st place finishes.  Once again, Austin Wells dominated another cross country meet  – this time winning the Gold Division (elite) at the UTSA Ricardo Romo Classic.  In a crowded field, Wells ran a 15:26, which was five seconds faster than the winning time in the university division posted on Friday.

Congrats, Austin.

At this past weekend’s NEISD Cross Country meet, Austin Wells once again flew past the competition to a first place finish with a time of 15:40.  The next fastest time for a varsity boy was almost a minute later and it was almost a minute and a half later for another NISD athlete to cross the finish line.  Congratulations to Austin, who now has two 1st place wins in the past two meets.  Clark boys finished 6th at the meet and the girls finished 9th.

One of the fastest distance runners in San Antonio and possibly the state helped pace the Clark Cougars to a good showing at the NISD cross country meet.  Austin Wells, picked by many as a top five cross country athlete, took 1st place in the first meet of the season and helped lead a strong boys team to a 2nd place finish.  For the ladies, Frances Moore led all Cougar runners and helped the Coogs to a fifth place invitational finish.
