England earned his second straight NEC Athlete of the Week award after winning his second meet in a row. Just one week after capturing the Ted Owen Invitational, England bested a field of 401 athletes to finish first at the Paul Short Run. The junior navigated the 8K course in 24:38, improving last season’s time at the event by over a minute. England won the race by two seconds to help the Red Flash to a tenth place finish.
