West Stokes' Morrison wins 4A boys cross country state title
KERNERSVILLE — West Stokes senior Bryan Morrison closed his high school career with an individual state championship Friday, winning the NCHSAA 4A boys race at Ivey Redmon Sports Complex in 15 minutes, 47.88 seconds. The championship by Morrison was the first in school history for a cross country runner. Morrison beat Wilkes Central's Morgan Woodard (16:08.90) by about 21 seconds. West Iredell's Bryant Moore was third in 16:20.84. The Wildcats' boys team, one of the favorites for the team title, finished fourth with 106 points. Carrboro won with 90, one point ahead of Brevard (91). Wilkes Central took third with 104, two points ahead of West Stokes. First Flight was fifth with 107. "Crap, crap, crap. Wow, that about sums it up," West Stokes coach Benji Knox said of his initial reaction. "The boys' team was a bit disappointing just because illness and injuries led us to a fourth-place finish instead of winning. But those are life lessons." Knox said Morrison's win made up for some of that disappointment. "I was super proud of Bryan for finishing his senior season with a state championship," Knox said. "He has really worked hard to improve and deserves being a state champion." Isaiah
