NXN Final
“Troutner missed qualifying for Nike Cross Nationals Final by one spot, and two seconds, as a junior. He lived with that for months and it spurred him to train smarter and dedicate himself even more to try to follow in the footsteps of 2016-17 Gatorade National Runner of the Year Casey Clinger. His ability to sustain a hard pace and then kick at the finish was a revelation at the end of the season, and the other top boys in the country had no answer for it at the NXN Final.”
