Athlete Spotlight: Bobby Peavey

Kellam junior Bobby Peavey is rarely mentioned among the others in the great junior class of distance runners found in the state of Virginia. Maybe its because he is in the Eastern Region, which normally takes a backseat to other parts of the state in cross country. Maybe its because he has yet to pop that great state meet performance. Whatever the reason may be, Peavey is ready to start making a name for himself on the state level as he heads into championship season this fall. Peavey set a course record of 15:47 at Bells Mill Park at the Chesapeake Invite in late September and looks to be the favorite for the Eastern Region title. While Peavey will be looking to take care of business in his region, he is also looking to come through big at the state meet and shake past disappointments in state competition. MileStat.com's Brandon Miles was able to catch up with the Eastern Region's best distance runner in an interview.
