All-State Cross Country Champion



Anclote's senior, Spencer Guerette, placed 8th in the Cross Country State Championship.  The top 10 finishers are considered All-State.  He received an FHSAA medallion for his accomplishment.    Spencer started off the race very patient and wise by hanging back from the leaders, but close enough to be a difference maker.  By the first mile, he had run 4:50 and then was content with where he was until the final 300 meters.  Going from the last turn onto the final 300 meter straight-away, Spencer was 10th and then hammered the final stretch, catching two others and claiming the 8th place spot.  His time on the 5K course was his personal best out of all four years of running the 5K in high school. Congratulations Spencer for an outstanding achievement.
