Most mornings, Andrew Hammel ’20 can be seen running around Wetmore Circle and other parts of campus as Christ School families are dropping off their sons.

Make that state champion Andrew Hammel as of Friday.

What a difference a year makes.

There is no better place than home for Christ School cross country to add to what has already been a historic season.

The Greenies are not only the host, but the favorite to win Wednesday’s Carolinas Athletic Association boys meet. The boys race begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by the girls.

WakeMed Soccer Park is known for being a fast course. Andrew Hammel ’20 and Joseph Visconti '20 did nothing to shatter that belief Saturday.

Senior team captains Andrew Hammel ’20 and Joseph Visconti ’20 have been accepted into the prestigious Nike Race of Champions for Saturday’s Great American Cross Country Festival in Cary, N.C.

Christ School cross country’s performance at Saturday morning’s Hare and Hounds Invitational bodes well for the future.

What looks to be the fastest cross country team in Christ School history is only getting faster.

Seven of the eight Greenies who raced Saturday morning ran personal-record or season-best times at the Eye Opener meet in Spartanburg, S.C. Christ School placed fourth as a team in the Invitational Boys division with 211 points, the best showing by any North Carolina school in the multi-state field.

In the past, Andrew Hammel ’20 and Joseph Visconti ’20 have always been a great 1-2 punch for Christ School cross country.

The Greenies proved there is way more in their arsenal Wednesday, winning the Buncombe County meet for the first time.

One mile is not a lot in the grand scheme of things. Christ School cross country runners will adhere to a training regimen with hundreds of miles between now and the end of their season in October.

But it was four laps around the school track that suggested this could be a special kind of season for the Greenies.

Early Sports are in full swing at Christ School, as usual a reminder that summer is winding down and a new year of Greenie athletics is ready to begin.
