Cross country runner Rhett Austin (11) can. During the 5K run at the Southlake Carroll Invitational, he beat the school\u2019s long-standing best time of 15:35, topping it with his own record of 15:12! This achievement is a true testament to Austin\u2019s skills, considering the previous record has been undefeated since 2016, and was set by a student who went on to compete at Rice University. So how did he do it? The simple answer is dedication. \u201cYou do a lot of training months prior and build your training up prior to the race, and then, you prepare your race plan,\u201d Austin explained. His coach, Alonna Miller, also affirmed his tenacity. \u201cHe works hard every day to be the best that he can be. He trains twice a day, and he perseveres through tough workouts.\u201d This feat has only driven Austin\u2019s spirits to keep pushing the limit. \u201cI hope to make it to state in cross country this year, and I hope to keep breaking the record,\u201d he stated. Achieving this as only a junior is a sure sign of a successful future for Austin to come. \u201cHe has set the bar high, and he will do whatever it takes to be the fastest he can possibly be,\u201d Miller asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by: <a href=\"https:\/\/lhhsfang.org\/staff_name\/brooke-barner\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/lhhsfang.org\/staff_name\/brooke-barner\/\">Brooke
