Brody Bender was named the September 2022 boys cross country Athlete of the Month for his contributions to the team. Coach Mary Marr said Brody made immediate contributions to the varsity team this season.

Marr said Brody has consistently been one of the top 5 runners on the team and set the fastest time for any freshman in the program’s history at the Thornton Invite with a time of 17:39.

“Brody is positive, motivated and enthusiastic. It is rare that he does not have a smile on this face and tells me he is ‘great’ whenever I ask. He fit in immediately with the team and we are so proud of his accomplishments so far this year!”
