Thought Bennett might be the favorite and more likely to win, these two boys are hoping to lead their team to a NCHSAA 1A Mideast Team Title. Both of these boys have individually had very sound seasons with Bennett holding a 16:01 season's best and O'Neill a 16:24. They were 3rd and 6th respectively in this race last season. Bennett's Voyager Academy team and O'Neill's Raleigh Charter team both have their sights set on a team title this season and rank 3rd and 2nd in the NCHSAA 1A respectively. Whichever team comes out on top in this match-up will go into the state meet with a lot more confidence next weekend.
