SECTIONAL CHAMPIONS!!! O's bring the title back to Avon for the first time in four years! Sam Clore and Griffin O'Neill crossed the line together to go 1-2, while Sam Sublette (8th) and Ben Hunter (13th) also earned All-Sectional honors! On to Regional!
Rough day at Semi-State for the O's, finishing 13th in team standings. However, the boys will be represented at the IHSAA State Finals by Sam Clore, who finished 17th overall to qualify as an individual!
STATE QUALIFIERS! The O's make their return to the IHSAA State Finals for the first time since 2018 by finishing 5th today at the Brownsburg Regional! Zach Risner (9th, 15:44) & Ben Hunter (19th, 15:59) earned All-Regional honors by placing in the top 20! On to Terre Haute!
Sam Clore's time of 4:26.76 is a new indoor school record for the full mile, as well as an indoor 1600m record converted (4:25.22c), and ranks him 10th all-time in school history (including outdoors)!
One of our best to ever do it. School record holder in the 1600m and 3200m. Masterclass in progression over four years. Great student-athlete, better person. Capped off a great high school career with a 15th place finish in the 1600m in all of Indiana today. Ben Hunter.
Lots of solid mile racing last night at the
@BENefitMile
! Had a gigantic Avon group last night, ranging from middle school to alumni! Great to see so many people out to honor Ben and support such a great cause!
O's cap off a great 2023 season with a 20th place finish at the IHSAA State Finals! Zach Risner led the way with a 30th place finish in 15:43.4, the fastest time ever by an AXC athlete at the Lavern Gibson XC course!
The AXC boys finish the season with a 12th place team finish at the IHSAA Shelbyville Semi-State. However, the O's will be represented at the State Finals by Griffin O'Neill, who placed 11th in 15:53.5 to qualify as an individual!
So this guy never got in a 3200m and asked if he could time trial today to get a mark.
He then solo's a 9:47 to put himself 9th All-Time at 3200m! Congrats Griff! Best of luck at DePauw!!!
Very proud of

Big shout out to senior AJ Neyhart, who ran 19:52.8 today as our 3rd man in the Reserve race. Almost a year ago to the day, AJ broke his femur completely during a workout on the track. Seeing him persevere over the last 12 months to get back to this point is something special!
Another Indoor school record for this guy! Sam Clore runs 9:34.14 to place 5th overall today in a great field at the
