The 5-foot-10, 140-pound senior distance talent led the Rock-A-Chaws to second place as a team at the MHSAA Class 3A State XC Championships this past season, breaking the tape to win the individual title with a time of 15:45.20—the fastest all-class clocking of the state meet. Leverett also won the Mississippi XC All-State Meet of Champions with a time of 15:39.39 and the Watson High School Meet in a personal-best 15:37.73. A four-time MHSAA All-State selection and three-time state champion, he clocked the state’s fastest boys prep 5K time in 2021, recorded six times below 16 minutes and was the top Mississippi finisher at the national RunningLane XC Championships.
Leverett has maintained a 4.5 weighted GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to run on scholarship at the University of Oklahoma this fall.
Inducted into the Mu Alpha Theta mathematics honor society, Leverett is a member of both the Hancock Youth Leadership Academy and Hancock Youth for Positive Efforts. Also a student ambassador at his school, he participates in the St. Stanislaus choir in addition to having volunteered locally on behalf of community service initiatives associated with the National Honor Society.
