NACC Boy's Wrap Up Season at State

The boy's cross country team ended a great season Saturday with a 15th place finish at the Division I State Cross Country Meet held at Scioto Downs Race Track. Competing against the biggest and best schools in Ohio, the young boys team had a valuable experience that can be used as a foundation for future seasons.

Top finishers for the Eagles were Jr. Blake Taneff (65th overall - 37 points) in 16:58, So. Sebastian Matt (93rd overall - 55 points) in 17:18, Jr. Alex Stanislav (121st overall - 83 points), Fr. Austin Bach (122nd overall - 84 points), Jr. Tom Newton (127th overall - 89 points) in 17:54, Fr. Drew Rose (138th overall) in 18:14, and Jr. Willie Matt (145th overall) in 18:29. With all 12 of the top varsity runners returning next season, the boys are excited to continue their success next season.

Please congratulate all team members on a great season. In addition to qualifying for the state meet for the first time in 30 years, they were OCC and District Champions in what can be argued as the most successful season in New Albany history. We are proud of these young men and all that they bring on and off the cross country course.
