“Wyatt has been banged up and we decided to stay out of the spikes and he ran in the Nike Vaporfly shoes, it has a lot more cushioning. Wyatt had a great race today,” Eastern Florida State College men’s cross country coach Doug Butler said.

Florida State University Club’s Ryan Ziskinder won the race with a time of 25:48.90.

“Pasco-Hernando is really stacked and we know we will have to run better to stay with the top teams,” Butler said. “The guys are happy with how they did but know they can do better.”
