Nearly three weeks ago at the Maryland high school track and field championships, Liberty junior Nick Hruch completed a remarkable come-from-behind victory in the 3,200-meter relay.
On June 8, Lions coach Bobby Ward pulled off a couple of comebacks of his own — albeit with much less than a state title up for grabs.
Ward, 26, and teammate John Basett combined to place first among four teams during the first summer cross coun-try relay race at Liberty High School.
Ward — who was in second place both times he started his legs — and Basett each ran two 1-kilometer legs in a cumulative 15 minutes, 43 seconds. Together they edged the team of Raleigh Linville, age 11, and Kevin Spradlin, by three seconds.
Individual splits were unavailable, though Ward probably posted two sub-3:40 1Ks to overtake Spradlin each time.
