High School Boys: Junior Branden Wood, who is quietly having the best cross season a Louisa boy has had since legendary harrier Danny Kane way back in the early 2000s. Wood, who finished third on Saturday's Cavalier Classic at Panorama Farms in 16:01, also ran 10:00 for two miles at the season opening Ragged Mountain Cup. Both times he has finished behind only the double headed Western Albemarle juggernaut of Hawkes & Eliason.
High School Girls: Louisa senior Cierra Caicedo, whose 19:30 runner-up finish at the Cavalier Classic on Saturday reaffirmed her as one of the best runners in all of Virginia 4A (18th at the State XC meet in 2018).
