This weeks CCS Athletics Player of the Week is Harrison Akers. He is a member of the Varsity Men’s Cross Country Team. He has been one of the team leaders this year. At the last home meet, Senior Night for our Cross Country team, Harrison showed great maturity and grace by helping pace a senior to improve the senior runners time. Harrison sacrificed his time to help a senior runner who has been a positive influence on him. He ran with the senior to the end, but slowed down to allow the senior to finish in front of him. The senior runner finished in 2nd place for the meet, while Harrison finished in third place. Harrison showed great humility and respect for a teammate that had encouraged him over the years.
Harrison and the other members of the Varsity Men and Women’s Cross Country teams will finish the year and compete in the NCISAA State Meet on October 24 in Charlotte. The state meet will be held at McAlpine Park. Come out and support the team!
