"Senior Alex McIntryre ran in the Division I race (Class 4A/3A)," W-M coach Jeremy Dobos said. "He ran with the front pack for the majority of the race. Runners were shifting positions throughout the first couple miles before Alex and three other runners separated in the third mile. "Coming into the last 600 meters, Alex pushed the gas pedal and only one runner went with him," he said. "He eventually was passed in the home stretch by West Valley's Caden Casteel, taking second place. It was a personal best for Alex for the second week in a row."
