A combined ranking from both days of the MHSAA State Cross Country Championships.

Hernando junior Trevor Foley came into 2016 with a sense of something to prove after a swollen left ventricle saw him finish 15th at regionals and a disappointing 79th at the Cross Country Finals. Foley won his last two meets at the RiverWood Invitational and Central High Bear Run and recently let our cameras come out to film highlights of his most recent workout, a 3 mile progression threshold followed with 4x800m.

The Florida athletic community lost a legend this past weekend with the passing of Hernando coach William "Ernie" Ernest Chatman Jr. Coach Chatman coached for over 40 years in Hernando County and was the HHS cross country for 28 years from (1981-2009), and serving as the track and field coach for five years. Over that time he has coached many of the Sunshine State's top runners including Ben and Drew Martucci (pictured above with Coach Chatman), as well as names like Paul (Jody) Spangler, Jason Heatherley, and Casey Isaacs. Here is what the running community had to say about Coach Chatman.

"Your season is over." The words no athlete or runner ever want to hear, especially when it comes from a doctor. Unfortunately, for Hernando sophomore Trevor Foley is quest for a 2A cross country state championship will have to wait until next fall.

Only a minute fraction of Hernando County prep athletes have ever had the type of personal success on and off the field that John Franklin Emerson has enjoyed at Hernando High and beyond. (via hernandotoday.com)
