It was a perfect running day for the 23rd annual State Cross Country Championships in Fresno where sophomore Tyler Hanson, representing Miramonte High School, placed 59th with a time of 16:16 on the challenging 5k course.

This course is not new to Hanson. He ran this course as a freshman, where he was 163rd with a time of 17:34. He also ran this course on for the Clovis Invitational on October 9th with a time of 17:22. Not only did Hanson run one minute and six seconds faster at State than he did at the Clovis Invitational, he ran a faster pace than he did at the North Coast Section Meet of Champions on November 6th, at a 5:15 per mile pace instead of the 5:17 per mile pace.
