Your Preseason Number One Guy: Peter Morris


Returning for his senior year is our preseason number one athlete, Peter Morris who will look to defend his 4A title and lead his stacked team to a third team title in a row. He enters the season with his 15:14 personal best, run at the state meet last year, and ranked 2nd amongst returners purely on time. He also returns having not lost to any returning athlete in XC in well over a year.

Unlike some other past and present athletes at Loudoun Valley, Peter has had a somewhat quiet trip to the top of the state leaderboard. He has slowly improved season by season and it looks like we can expect a sub 15 year from him this year as he will need to if he wants to win that 4A title. 

Though you can make the argument for multiple people to have more upside than Peter the facts are simple... both of his nearest competitors, Price Owens and Sam Affolder, have had their chances to beat him and both instances Peter left the course victorious over them. For that reason and many others he is our preseason number one athlete.
