Red River High School sophomore Logan Mims capped off another impressive cross-country season by earning his second consecutive trip to the LHSAA Division IV State Championship.

Mims placed 12th at the Regional Championship, clocking an 18:42 on a demanding 3-mile course and securing his return to the state stage.

Earlier in the season, Logan earned his regional qualification with a standout performance of 17:47, one of the fastest times of his career and a testament to his growth since last year. At the State Championship, he competed against nearly 200 of Louisiana’s strongest runners, finishing 46th overall, a significant accomplishment in one of the most competitive fields in Division IV.

Now in only his second year of high school competition, Logan continues to demonstrate maturity, grit, and steady improvement. His back-to-back state appearances show not only natural talent but also the work ethic and consistency that define successful distance runners.

Red River Cross Country Coach, Coach Brunson, praised Logan’s continued development, saying, “Logan has made tremendous strides from last year to this year. Qualifying for State once is impressive—but doing it again while improving your times shows real commitment. We’re proud of the runner and young man he is becoming.”

Logan’s accomplishments have earned him strong support from teammates, family, and the Red River community. As he builds on this year’s success, fans look forward to seeing what he will achieve in his junior and senior seasons.

Congratulations, Logan! Go Bulldogs!
