Setting a new district course meet record (15:19) was another highlight for Austin Wells, Clark’s most successful cross country runner.  The senior has verbally committed to run at the next level for Texas A&M University.  It was a tough choice for the runner who grew up in a University of Texas household.  The highly decorated runner talks about his choice in this KENS5 David Flores article.

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.

Congratulations, Austin!
