Season Review: The clear favorite for the Class 3 individual title in 2018, McDaniel's stellar career continued into 2017 as he picked up another District championship, a third top 5 finish at the state meet, and reached the top of the podium with his Festus squad for the third straight year as well. McDaniel's career will be one for the record books when it is all said and done and he will be the name on everyone's lips next cross country season. His 15:40.10 was the top Class 3 time this season, as well.
