  • Cross Country Gatorade Player of the Year-Logan Scott

    FAITH LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETE NAMED GATORADE NEVADA BOYS CROSS COUNTRY PLAYER OF THE YEAR CHICAGO (January 30, 2023) — In its 38th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, Gatorade today announced Logan Scott of Faith Lutheran High School is the 2022-23 Gatorade Nevada Boys Cross Country Player of the Year. Scott is the second Gatorade Nevada Boys Cross Country Player of the Year to be chosen from Faith Lutheran High School. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Scott as Nevada’s best high school boys cross country player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Player of the Year award to be announced in January, Scott joins an elite alumni association of state award winners.

    The 5-foot-7, 120-pound sophomore raced to victory at the NIAA Class 5A state meet this past season with a time of 16:07.9, pacing the Crusaders to third place as a team. Unbeaten against in-state competition last fall, Scott also finished an impressive 13th at the Woodbridge Classic in California. He closed out his 2022 campaign as the state’s fastest performer at the National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships in Texas, where he finished second overall with a personal-best clocking of 15:50.3. Scott has volunteered locally on behalf of multiple community service initiatives in association with his church. “Unbeaten within state lines while undertaking a busy schedule, Faith Lutheran’s Logan Scott also crossed borders with ample success,” said PrepCalTrack editor Rich Gonzalez. “The talented sophomore took 13th in the Rated Race at the nation’s largest invitational, the Woodbridge Classic, and finished third at the Central Park Invite, both in California. Improving by nearly a minute since last year on multiple racecourses, he closed out his season with a state title and a great showing at JO’s.” Scott has maintained a weighted 3.40 GPA in the classroom. He will begin his junior year of high school this fall
