The Greensburg Junior High Lady Pirates Cross Country Team traveled through thunder clouds and lightning to compete in the Grizzly Classic Invitational Saturday morning in Franklin. The Girls Team placed 8th out of 16 participating teams after an hour lightning delay pushed back their initial start time. Center Grove Central won the event. The boys race was canceled due to the inclement weather.
Madeline Risher led her teammates with an award winning 16th place finish out of 126 varsity competitors. Madeline ran a personal record, breaking 13 minutes for the first time in her career. Lulu Webb, Tensley Brewsaugh, Emma O’Sullivan and Ella Kate Stewart also ran personal best times. Ella Kate improved the most by shedding an entire minute!
The Pirate Harriers will compete again on Tuesday at East Central against the Trojans and the Franklin County Wildcats.
