Lee Stephens, who graduated in 1998, claimed first place at the event by running a 16:23.
“Lee is the grandfather of Land O’ Lakes cross country history,” said Land O’ Lakes cross country coach Kris Keppel. “Lee was on my very first team as a freshman back in 1994.”
Several area student-athletes also ran in the event. Wiregrass Ranch junior Ermias Bireda took third place by finishing in 16:58, while Gators sophomore Jake Poore ran a 17:20 to finish in fourth place.
