2022 MSHSAA State Championship Class 5 Boys Recap

Kickapoo's Tyler Harris (1929) runs behind Rock Bridge's Ian Kemey during the Class 5 championship race. 


Wilde ran 15:05.9 - about three seconds ahead of Rock Bridge's Ian Kemey. Wilde battled with Kemey, Kickapoo's Tyler Harris and Rock Bridge's Andrew Hauser throughout the race.

Like Tyson, Wilde led from the start and never relinquished his advantage.

Wilde will come back with a chance to repeat - something that hasn't happened in the largest classification since Hickman's Tim Cornell accomplished it in 2003-2004.

Liberty North's Grayson Tapp (11th) and Collin Kleinhen (22nd) also earned all-state honors. The Eagles finished with 77 points - 12 points ahead of runner-up Rock Bridge.

Kemey crossed the line second in 15:12.70, followed by Harris (15:22.60) and then Andrew Hauser in fourth (15:36.50).
