Another day, another milestone.
Coupeville grad Mitchell Hall, now a freshman at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, competed in his second collegiate cross country race early Saturday morning.
After covering 5,000 meters in his debut, the former Wolf ran an 8K as he and the Fightin’ Engineers vied at the 23-team John McNichols Invitational in Terra Haute.
Hall hit the tape in 29 minutes, 10.2 seconds, while Purdue’s Nathan Walker won the race, sparking his squad to a team title as well.
The invitational featured 15 NCAA D-I teams, including Indiana, Kansas State, and Belmont, while Rose-Hulman is a D-III school.
The Fightin’ Engineers return to action in two weeks, hosting the Nike Cross Country Town Twilight meet Sept. 29 as part of Rose-Hulman’s Homecoming weekend.
During his time in Coupeville, Hall was a standout cross country and track runner who advanced to the state championships twice, a top student, and a fast-rising employee at Prairie Center.
