Knoxville Cross Country Runner Isaac Rankin has had a few days to come down from his first state meet as a freshman. Rankin finished 98th in a time of 18:00. While not exactly where he wanted to finish, Rankin already has made a few goals for next cross country season. Rankin tells KNIA/KRLS Sports he wants to get back to state and finish better than 98th.

Rankin: “Do a lot better at State next year, that’s a big goal, and try to run under 16:30, that’s another goal.”

Rankin’s best time was 16:50 at Centerville on October 4th. Find an interview with Rankin on kniakrls.com that aired on the Radio Sports Page Wednesday at 6:00 and Thursday at 10:00 on KNIA/KRLS.
