2016 Interview Sessions: Soren Knudsen


Tonyprepster and Soren Knudsen at the FTTF Invite

Minooka senior Soren Knudsen had a vision for his cross country season. In his summer journals Saucony Flo Training #1 and Saucony Flo Training #2 Knudsen specifically detailed how he was going to have a marvelous season. He built up a tremendous bank of quality training which ultimately led him to the 3A cross country state title in 14:01. 

Knudsen finished second at the First To The Finish Invitational but it was a pivotal moment of the season. Knudsen had took a tough loss the week prior at the Hinsdale Invite when his health was called into question.  Instead he was light hearted and the feeling of supreme success was in the air. September 10 was the last time Soren Knudsen took a loss in 2016.
