"Sergio by far is one of the greatest surprises in my career. From an unassuming runner who joined cross country too late to compete his first year to one of the best all around runners in the region is pretty amazing. With great efficiency and the willingness to try to learn as much in training as possible, Sergio is one of the most dangerous guys in not just the region but the state."
