“I see Soule’s performance at the state meet as just a little ahead of the other contenders in a close race for Gatorade honors in North Carolina. His PR is better than any of his serious challengers and he led Mount Tabor to team titles at states, the adidas Challenge and Great American.”

Soule also finished fourth at the Great American XC Festival Race of Champions, clocking a personal-best time of 15:14.90. A HighSchoolOT.com First Team All-State and NCMileSplit First Team All-State selection, he finished fifth at the adidas XC Challenge. With Soule anchoring the Spartans’ efforts, Mount Tabor won the team title at both GAXC and adidas XC.
