The Collierville High School Men’s Cross Country team delivered a standout performance at Saturday’s prestigious Randolph Invitational in Huntsville, Alabama, securing 4th place in a highly competitive field of 26 teams.

Facing off against elite programs from across the southern region, the Dragons proved to be elite with all five scoring runners placing in the Top 55 out of a massive field of 405 individual runners.

Leading the charge were Jacob Roper and Georgios Kavouras, who both cracked the Top 10 with times of 16:26.22 and 16:28.24, respectively. Their efforts were instrumental in locking down Collierville’s Final Four team placement.

Also catching attention was Pierre Kavouras, who crossed the line in 16:44.38, earning a strong 17th place finish. Senior Thatcher Grace added valuable points with a time of 16:52.72, while sophomore standout Gabe Bullock rounded out the scoring with a 54th place finish and a time of 17:42.25.

With momentum building, the Dragons now turn their focus to the postseason, where they aim to contend for the 2025 State Championship this November at Shelby Farms in Memphis.
