Knoxville’s Norah Pearson will take this week and get ready for her first high school state cross country meet. Pearson qualified last Thursday at the Pella site with a second place overall finish. She tells KRLS Sports the support from the students at school to her teammates have made her feel more comfortable going into Saturday race. Pearson has had a great season…she began by setting the school record in her first varsity meet, and has a chance to finish high at the state meet this weekend.
