Park Hill South will defend its 2011 conference championship with most of the same runners that helped contribute to clinching it last year. The Panthers return three all-conference runners in seniors Lendon Calhoun and Mason Homoly as well as their top runner sophomore Tucker Melles. Melles burst onto the scene last year as a freshman, qualifying for the state meet before finishing 43rd overall.
“He’s been running races all summer long,” head coach Brad Banning said of Melles. “He also swims, so he’s coming back in great shape.”
Also returning for the Panthers are senior Jacob Bowlin, juniors Westley King, Chase Whorton, Eli Williams, and Keaton Murray, and sophomore Gus Whitman.
Overall, Banning says his junior and sophomore classes make up a large portion of the team with about 13 runners in each class. It’s certainly not a problem, as it should help Park Hill South field quality varsity as well as junior varsity teams, which help fuel competition between the individual runners.
They will start the season off at the Liberty Invite on September 1st followed by the Ray-Pec Invite on September 8th.
