The ADM cross country team has a standout underclassman in sophomore Robbie Hall, who has shown strong mental strength this year. Head coach Josh Chapman acknowledges that Robbie’s journey to becoming a dependable runner wasn’t an overnight transformation. Originally, he was a middle-of-the-pack runner, but his hard work ethic has played a role in his growth this year that allows him to be a reliable anchor when out on the course.

Coach Chapman points out “he’s really stepped it up and and he’s been a pivotal runner for us on our team.” Hall has produced regular finishes in the teams first three to five runners to cross the finish line, showcasing his improved performance and ability to compete at the varsity level as a sophomore. In a team that has a lot of juniors and seniors, Robbie’s improvement has made him a valuable member to the Tigers

The Tigers next meet is today at 5:00 at the Perry golf and country club.
