Bourbon High School freshman Elijah Frederick completed his successful debut cross country season by competing in the Nov. 6 Class 2 State Championship meet at Gans Creek in Columbia. He was the only runner of either gender from Bourbon or Cuba High School to qualify for the State Meet.
A post from the Facebook Page for Bourbon’s Athletics programs highlighted Frederick’s accomplishment following the race. “We are incredibly proud of Eli and all the hard work that brought him to this moment. Way to represent the Warhawks and a big congratulations on a great season,” the post read.
Frederick earned 106th place out of 168 competitors by running a personal-best 18:14 time in the 5000 meter race. He finished in 20th place out of all freshmen competing in the race.
Frederick qualified for the State Meet by finishing in the top-30 of the Oct. 31 Class 2 District 3 Meet in Owensville. He earned 26th place with an 18:18 time.
Frederick received All-Gasconade Valley Conference (GVC) honors after finishing fifth amongst runners in the conference during the Oct. 19 GVC Meet at Hood Park in Cuba.
He is expected to compete for Bourbon’s track and field team this spring before returning to the Warhawks’ cross country team next fall as a sophomore.
