He nearly matched his personal best of 24:23.1, set at last year’s Live in Lou Cross Country Classic. Wilson-Cook, who was the first Mountaineer to cross the finish line, helped App State to a second-place team finish on Friday.

The Staunton, Va. native earned the 2023 campaign’s first Runner of the Week honor on Sept. 6 after finishing seventh individually with a time of 24:28.4 at the Firetower Project Run, on Sept. 1. The Mountaineers finished second in the team standings at the Firetower Project Run.

Next up for the Mountaineers will be the Live in Lou Cross Country Classic on Sept. 30 in Louisville, Ky.
