He was 10-15 yards be- hind a Lehman runner, but he passed. him going up a hill to finish in tenth place and clinch the win.” Thomas added, “For the first ‘were missing three of our guys, in- time, we have a shot at winning the conference title. This was an out- standing effort by my guys.” After the meet, Miller congratulat- ed his teammates. “Last year Lehman killed us, so we were pumped up to win this meet,” he said. “I knew I had to be one of the top three runners, and we all did " what we had to do. This was the biggest race of my career.” Pete, a senior, has run on varsity for four years and was named an all-state for the past two years. He hopes to continue his cross-country career in college.

You cannot be missing three key runners and expect to beat a team like Dallas,” he said. The two teams will battle again October 17 at the Coaches’ League meet.
