But there are some days when the Monroe Central junior says he feels like he's meant to be running. Saturday — after Burris ran a 16:56 at the Delta cross-country sectional to become the first boys sectional champion from Monroe Central — was one of those days.

"I didn't have a great, a great run time-wise but it doesn't matter because I'm out here with some of my friends, my best friends really," Burris said. "And just to be out there and enjoy our time together and after all the work we put in all summer it's, it's awesome.
