Tyler Boone has been nothing short of remarkable during his time at Bryan and is one of the most decorated Lions in the history of the Cross Country and Track & Field programs. To summarize his feats, Boone is a three-time cross country national qualifier, two-time track national qualifier in the 3K and 5K events, two-time Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) cross country champion, two-time AAC cross country Runner of the Year, Bryan's first ever back-to-back AAC cross country champion, in total is a four-time AAC champion, and is a seven-time All-Conference team member. During his junior year last season, Boone placed 39th at the NAIA Cross Country Nationals, which was the 5th best finish in program history, and was the 9th competitor to cross the finish line during the 3K race at nationals.


Head Coach of Cross Country/Track & Field, Josh Bradley, stated, "Tyler Boone has made a positive impact on our team since his freshman year. He has not only scored on the conference level and run fast on the national level of competition, but he has been a consummate leader on and off the track. Tyler leads by example athletically and spiritually. He is part of the Worldview Team at Bryan and holds a 3.6 GPA. Tyler makes my job, as a coach, very easy because he is a hard worker, and he cares about his teammates. He goes out of his way to make sure that he and my other athletes are striving to reach the goals they have set out for themselves."
