Last year, Harrison's Hunter Frickle took the year off after dealing with a death in the family. To say Harrison, who is only a junior, is back would be an understatement. Frickle shocked everyone two weeks ago at the Sugar Creek Showdown running the fastest 5K time in Arkansas history--14:34.
Frickle passed Bentonville's Sean Burns in the last 400 meters of the race. Burns' time of 14:36 is No. 2 all-time in Arkansas history.
It's the second year in a row that the top two times in Arkansas history have been recorded. Last year, Mountain Home's Jackson Free and Bentonville's Brian Burns, Sean's older brother, ran the No. 1 and No. 2 time in Arkansas history.
"He is usually quiet and reserved," Harrison head coach Stephen Coker said. "After the race, he could not stop laughing."
It's quite the story for both Frickle and his coach, who is in his first year as head coach after serving as an assistant for three seasons.
Now, Frickle turns his attention to Saturday's Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville. Now, Frickle turns his attention to Saturday's Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville.
