“Completing a dream season that included a top-5 finish at a national meet, Hurricane’s sophomore standout also clocked the fastest all-class time at the state meet. His run at the adidas Challenge was another example of what projects as exciting things to come.”

Steorts won four invitationals last fall and was the state’s top performer at the adidas XC Challenge in North Carolina, where he took second overall. He capped his 2022 campaign as the fastest West Virginian at the Garmin RunningLane Championships in Alabama, crossing the line fifth.
