“Knox Young clearly knows how to pick his battles, downshifting for certain meets before torquing up for the big challenges. The plan worked again this year as the Raiders’ senior rolled to an unbeaten regular-season campaign and his second consecutive state title before taking second at the Nike Cross Southeast Regional Championship. He’s clearly going places, and getting there faster than most.”
