Class 2A Boys; Meester-Kitterman closed his brilliant career with a sixth-place finish in 16:07. “I’m happy with it,” he said. “The lead pack sprinted away from me in the third mile, but I felt like I had a kick at the end. It was a good race. I ran pretty much my race. No regrets.”

It was his first medal after finishing 44^th last year in 16:28 and 24^th as a sophomore in 16:19.

“I finished with a bang,” Meester-Kitterman said.
