"Corey Scott and Zac Martinez went out with the Marion boy — they went out for a pretty fast pace for two miles — and I was surprised that Corey ran a 16:32. That's pretty fast for a Tuesday," Western coach Joe Orr said. He noted that Scott ran very quickly given that he set a personal best just three days earlier. "And also, Zac Martinez broke 17 minutes. He didn't break 17 Saturday.

"I think the boys are coming around pretty well right now."
