AIA cross-country  <br>Piñon senior takes home sectional crown

WINDOW ROCK

The chase is finally over for Piñon harrier Antwan Clement.

Since his freshman year, Clement has always wanted a sectional title. Last year, he finished as the reserve champion when he came up short to St. Michael Indian School’s Evans Tracy.

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, the two runners were on pace to duplicate that 1-2 finish during the Arizona Interscholastic Association Division IV, North Section meet at Lake Powell National Golf Course.

This time, however, Clement maintained his pace to win his first-ever sectional crown in 16:23.4 as he beat out a pair of Hopi runners in sophomore Kylen Antone (16:31.9) and Alde Kewanwytewa (16:41.1) while Evans dropped to 10th overall at 17:45.7.

“I’m happy that I won the race,” Clement said. “Last year, I wasn’t too far from Evans, and I thought it was gonna happen again this year where I finished behind him.”
