Division IV Boys
Live!!! Big Bear repeats as state champion as they place five runners in the top 20 with an amazing 21 second spread!!! The team time of 80:41 is surprising considering the division but ranks up their with the big boys.
Individual champion Tyre Johnson of improves upon his 2007 runner-up finish with top honors going away in a tremensous 15:32 effort. But the story of the day for Div IV was Big Bears showing as a tremendous big meet team. A team like this will fair well in large invitationals due to their tight pack running. Coach Mickey Hall takes the team title home after a stellar year.
