Fatima Boys Complete Incredible Season With Four Freshmen
We have spoken at length about the Fatima girls and cannot seem to get through even one segment of this article without mentioning their greatness. But have you heard about the Fatima boys? Relatively unknown until about halfway through the season, the Comet boys burst into the Class 2 discussion after putting the heat on far-and-away #1 Lamar at the Capital CC Challenge in September. They put together an impressive race to finish a mere 14 points behind the Tigers. Not only that, but they did it with 3 freshmen among their top 5. On Saturday, they took 2nd in Class 2 with four freshmen in their top 7 along with 1 junior and 2 seniors. They finished no worse than 42nd and had an average a mere 11 seconds behind champion Lamar's 17:27. Led by senior Logan Borland in 11th, freshman Lucas Laux was the top 9th grader in Class 2 as he finished just 3 seconds behind his teammate in 14th. Senior Dalton Luebbert was 5 seconds behind in 15th and with junior Dylan Smith and freshman Dawson Woehr in 34th and 35th, the Comets could have shocked the Tigers had they fallen just a bit more. Fatima looks very good heading into 2018 and, if we had to make a way too early prediction, we would probably put them as the 2018 Class 2 #1 team.
