Boys cross-country
Jeff Hazard, Northridge (Sr.)
Jeff Hazard turned in another outstanding performance last week at the Valhalla Invitational at Layton Commons Park.
The senior finished first with a time of 15:26.74, crossing the line 18 seconds ahead of the runner-up finisher from Viewmont.
The win came two weeks after his runner-up finish at the Davis District Championship.
“Jeffrey is obviously a tremendous athlete. He’s also a great student, a humble person and a great teammate. He’s been a leader on our team from his first race as a freshman due to his athletic ability,” said Northridge coach Curt Bentley. “He has always been a quiet example of dedication, kindness and stability. It’s been fun to watch him grow into a more vocal leadership role during the last two years. He is well-respected by all of his teammates and competitors alike. He’s a joy to coach, does things the right way and will go far.”
Hazard finished runner-up at last year’s 5A state championships and will again be one of the runners to beat at next month’s state meet.
