Most exciting of all were the state rankings for some of our younger runners! Kelsey Slaven placed in the Top 10 fastest 5th grade female runners in the whole state of Indiana! Tessa Hersley landed the 2nd fastest and Alex Fry claimed the 4th fastest 4th grade female runners in Indiana! Nolan Hash was the #1 fastest 4th grade male runner in the whole state of Indiana! All of the SM runners have put in a lot of hard work and dedication and we are beyond proud of their accomplishments this season!
