For Brandon Schutt, a senior at Bellevue East, it would likely be his last cross-country event of his high school career.

He and Omaha Burke sophomore Blake Cerveny on Oct. 14 were competing in a 3.1-mile A-2 District at Pioneers Park in Lincoln, Nebraska, where they, like all the others runners, hoped to make state.
