The Campus Colts are always one of the better teams in the area when it comes to cross country, and this year, senior Kaleb Arneson will look to lean on his experience as one of the leaders on the team.
Arneson has been running cross country for six years and has developed into a great runner for the Colts.
“Kaleb is an incredibly hard worker,” head coach Cooper Clark said. “He not only leads with his words, but by example too. I’d say a majority of the kids on the team look up to Kaleb, even the older ones. He just gets it.”
On top of Cross Country, the senior also is a part of the marching band, a lifeguard and an avid Halloween lover.
“I have spent about $2,000 on animatronics from Spirit Halloween, and I store them in my room and my basement,” Arneson said. “I started collecting them in 2021 with the animatronic named Baphomet, standing at 7.6 feet tall and looking like a goat demon. I knew I had to get him, and that’s what started it all.”
Despite that huge love for Halloween, the senior has plans before October 31, and that is wanting to break 17:30 in his 5k before trying to run at the next level.
