Carter Solomon has had a pretty good last few weeks.
After scoring the second fastest 5K effort on Michigan soil all-time at his regional championship race on Oct. 26, the Plymouth (MI) High School senior and University of Notre Dame commit was voted National Performer of the Week by voters of MileSplit's weekly poll for the period of October 21-27.
Then Solomon won his first MHSAA LP Division I state cross country title on Saturday, posting a time of 15:01.20. He finished his regular season Michigan career with three top five finishes and one win, as well as that incredible effort of 14:42.70 from regionals.
Not bad.
A big congratulations goes out to Solomon, a fourth-place finisher at last year's Foot Locker Nationals, on his multiple wins and his efforts over the next few weeks ahead of national qualifiers.
