Bayside Academy sophomore Catherine Doyle and senior Ty Postle were selected by the Mobile Optimist Club as the 1A–5A Runners of the Year for Mobile and Baldwin County.

The Mobile Optimist Club recognizes cross country athletes during the season as Runners of the Week and then chooses one male and one female athlete from 1A–5A and 6A-7A as Runners of the Year. Doyle and Postle were recognized at the Mobile Optimist Club’s luncheon Thursday, Nov. 17.

Doyle’s personal best 5K time of the season was 18:57, which set a new school record. Postle’s personal best time of 16:28 remains the second-best time in school history.
