Keqing He, Class of 2020
Keqing was a pleasure to have on the cross-country team this season. Keqing was always working his hardest to improve and constantly seeking out ways that he could improve beyond what we were doing as a team. Keqing improved his best 5k time by a minute and fifty seconds this season and was one of the leaders of the JV team. Keqing was so well-liked, respected, and admired for his work ethic amongst his peers that Keqing was voted one of the captains of the 2019 cross-country team. I am very excited to see Keqing continue to improve throughout the spring track season and continue to lead in the upcoming fall.
