Charlie Lawrence of Foley High School is the only athlete to break 16 minutes at the Section 5A Championships, and he did so twice. The current University of Minnesota star was both a runner-up and a third-place finisher at the State cross country championships in his career, but the individual State Championship eluded him on the grass. Instead, he waited until the spring both seasons to earn his state title, taking home the 2012 and 2013 Class A 3200m Championship.
