Athlete Spotlight: Cody Snyder

The boys 1000 meter race at the Group AAA State Meet this year could be a great race even without including defending state champion Anthony Kostelac of Albemarle. There are three runners right in Group AAA who currently have times at 2:30 or faster including Lee-Davis junior Cody Snyder, who followed up his early season US #1 time at CNU last month with a VA #12 all-time performance of 2:29.44 at the New York Armory this past weekend.
