OJAI, Calif. - Winslow Atkeson was a champion runner at Thacher High School but he leaves with unfinished business.

In 2019 Atkeson won the CIF-SS Division 4 1600m in a time of 4:20.50.

He never will get to defend his title after the season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Injuries affected his senior cross country season.

Atkeson won his first four races and even set a school record in a race at El Camino Park with a time of 15:25.

He was hurt late in the season but still came back to put up some good times in CIF.

Winslow has committed to Yale University.
