The #5 runner for one of the state's best-packed squads in the Bartram Trail boys, Braden Motycka has been a reliable performer for the varsity lineup as a ninth-grader including two sub-17-minute performances at Cecil Field Summer Classic to open the season in 16:53 and also running 16:56 at Katie Caples Invite. His best race of the season might have come in his last race with a 17:09 performance at Holloway Park in the Race of Champions at the flrunners.com Invite.
