The Seminole Tribe’s Marciano Calderon, an eighth grader at the the Vanguard School in Lake Wales, competed in the Hoka Flrunners.com Invitational on Oct. 14 at Holloway Park in Lakeland.

Calderon ran in the 3K middle school boys race. He finished with a time of 16:39, which was the second fastest on his team.

“Marciano did a wonderful job running and helped other Vanguard students keep pace in the event,” Susi Vacek, who is in the school’s admissions and marketing department, wrote in an email to the Tribune.
