The Jamestown boys’ cross country team won the Bay Rivers District Championship in impressive fashion, placing five runners in the top 15 places. The Region 1 Championship was eerily similar, as six of Jamestown’s runners placed in the top 10.

Most of the attention was placed on front-runner Andrew Colley, who broke the course records at both meets, running 14:36 and 15:45 respectively. Right behind Colley, however, were his teammates Junior Colin Mearns and Senior John Holt.

Mearns and Holt finished second and third respectively at both the district and regional meets, securing the Jamestown victories. The pair forms the backbone of the Jamestown squad.

Though both Mearns and Holt would be the number one runners at most any school in the nation, they are content with their success at Jamestown. They say their second and third positions are a testament to the depth of their team.
