“I’m just proud of the kids,” Miami Trace head coach Jeff Smallwood said. “I don’t know if we could have ran a better race than we did tonight. Wilmington has a pretty solid team.

“We had three First Team, All-SCOL runners,” Smallwood said. “We got runner-up in the SCOL, which is disappointing to get beat by three placement points. The kids are disappointed.

“From where we began with this program over the past four years, we’ve got to be excited about it,” Smallwood said. “We’ve got some talented junior high kids coming up, including Bo Little, who won the SCOL (Wednesday, Oct. 12).

“We didn’t have a full team for the ladies, but, they ran well tonight,” Smallwood said. “I’m going to continue to try and improve our ladies’ numbers”
