We were able to catch up with the Flower Mound distance crew at one of their workouts. Flower Mound has one of the best groups of distance runners both in Texas and nationally over last several seasons. They are one of the only teams EVER to have two cross country individual state champions on the same team at the same time.
With national elite level runners and state champions like Alex Maier (2018 UIL 6A state champion/6th NXN) and Jarrett Kirk (2017 UIL 6A state champion) the boys team has been able to compete amongst the best. With the development of Thomas Romanow, Flower Mound could have a formidable group heading into the district, area, and regional rounds in the distance events.
They also have an outstanding girls team that is led by freshman Natalie Cook and senior versatile distance runner Anastaysia Davis.
