cross country runner Colby Mosshart recently led his team at the Berry Invitational with a finish time of 17:39. This outstanding performance, and his continued motivation to improve, is what makes Mosshart this week’s Dacula Patch male athlete of the week.
Coach Chad Harrison said Mosshart is a four-year letterman who has been a member of the state team since he was a freshman.
“He is a hard worker who pushes himself and other runners to get better with every practice,” Harrison said. Mosshart also excels at balancing school, practice and work, Harrison added.
