Brent Ferrel, a sophomore at Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet High School, is already making waves in cross country. Specializing in the 5000-meter race, Brent holds a personal record of 17:04, which has earned him the #8 ranking in his class.

His discipline and drive are paying off, and his talent will next be on display at the Dickson Invitational on September 28th, hosted by Dickson County High School. Brent’s hard work is setting him up for success in future events, and we look forward to following his journey as he continues to excel in the coming years.

The most common injury in cross country is runner’s knee, which affects a large percentage of long-distance runners due to the repetitive strain on the joints. With the right orthopedic care and physical therapy, athletes can rehabilitate from these injuries and bounce back stronger than ever, ensuring a smooth and effective recovery.
