The state’s 2025-26 Gatorade Boys Cross Country Player of the Year, Lee took sixth in the mile run at the Brooks PR Invitational and his time of 4:03.08 set a state record in addition to ranking No. 15 nationally in 2026. He capped his season with a fourth-place finish in the 5,000-meter run at the USATF Under-20 Championships.
