The Greensburg Junior High Cross Country teams traveled to Indianapolis on Saturday to compete in a 12 team Franklin Central Flash Dash Invitational. Both teams placed 7th as the ladies were led by Madeline Risher in 21st place out of 99 girls and Flash Dash Medalist Quinton Walker led the gents in 9th place out of 96 total boys.
All the runners on the team ran season best times. Quinton Walker, Ethan Clifford, Henry Corya, and Haleigh Stewart all set new career personal record times. Haleigh Stewart and Brenner Schutte dropped the most time from their mock meet earlier in the week. Schutte shed over 3 minutes with a very strong finish.
Eight athletes ran State Qualifying times Saturday morning. Madeline Risher, Eleanor Davis, Lulu Webb, Sophia Buening, Quinton Walker, Jackson Tekulve, Ethan Clifford, and Henry Corya will all be heading to State in October! Another highlight came from Jackson Tekulve as his time places him as the 7th fastest 6th grader in Greensburg Junior High School history.
The Pirates compete again today at home in a 25 team Invitational. Come out and support your favorite runner!
