Always in motion, morning, noon, or night.

Coupeville grad Mitchell Hall continues to tear up the trails in college, and he was back in action Friday night in Terra Haute, Indiana.

Competing in the Nike Cross Country Town Twilight at the Laverne Gibson Championship Course, the former Wolf covered 8K in 29 minutes, 42.7 seconds.

That was just off Hall’s college PR of 29:10.2, as the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology finished second at the 12-team meet.

He’s run in three meets as a freshman, and returns to action Friday, Oct. 13 when Rose-Hulman travels to Wilmington College in Ohio for the Jenna Strong Fall Classic.

Hall, a standout student and track and cross country athlete during his time at CHS, is studying physics and mathematics.

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.
