Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-11, 130-pound senior broke the tape at the Class 1A-2A State Championships with a personal-best time of 14:34.29 this past season, becoming the first four-time state champion in history while also leading the Eagles to the team championship. Edgeworth also crossed the line in fifth place at the Nike Cross Southeast Regional Championships to become the first Alabama runner in history to qualify for Nike Cross Nationals, where he finished in 47th. Unbeaten against in-state rivals, he also earned the silver medal at the inter-state Jesse Owens Classic.
