Boys' Cross-Country

Andrew Jesien, Walter Johnson, Sr.
A repeat All-Met, Jesien overcame a stress fracture last spring and a bout of mononucleosis in September to reemerge as one of the area's best by the end of this season. Jesien was the Maryland 4A runner-up after winning the 4A West Region and Montgomery County championships. He won the Georgetown Prep Invitational and Meade Autumn Classic titles, and he was second at the Lake Fairfax Invitational and the Maymont Cross-Country Festival.

Rob Dulin, Brentsville
In Dulin's 15 years at the Nokesville school, Brentsville has become a perennial Virginia powerhouse. A reclassification up to Group AA in 2003 did not affect the Tigers, whose boys captured the state crown this season in decisive fashion. Brentsville had four runners in the top 15 and scored 33 points, the best score by a AA champion since 1978. Dulin won his 10th state title (seven girls and three boys), the most in Virginia history. At the Region II meet, the Tigers won with the top four finishers. Brentsville also won the Wendy's Invitational in Charlotte.
