Senior Rayford James improved his career best cross-country 5k time this weekend at the Alligator Lake XC Invitational by 30 seconds. James' previous best was a 16:36 ran a week earlier at the Katie Caples Invitational. This past weekend, without teammate Dominic Williams to chase him, James chased some of the best runners in the state posting a 16:16.87.
Also competing for the Generals this past weekend was Buay Deng (19:43.14), Chris Curry (22:06.05), Kris Smalls (23:30.49), and John Hutton (25:39.26). Deng set his own personal record this weekend also breaking the 20-minute mark, moving him under a minute away from a Lee High School Top 20 All-Time 5k performance.
