Darren Wise was 49th, Seth Revolt was 60th, Austin Gossett was 61st, and Jayke Thompson was 65th. #6 Columbus North won the event. The boys are also at Butler on Wednesday.

**Directions to Cascade**

Take 70-West to S.R. 39 (west of Plainfield). Go north on 39 to U.S. 40. Go west on 40. Go about three miles to the school. There will be a flashing light. Turn right on John Mitchell Road. You will actually pass the school before turning right. You should be able to see the cross country course from the road.

"We are awaiting an answer from the Scecina AD, but it appears we will add a home meet on 9/9 at 4:45 vs. Scecina.

It would be two races. All girl runners in one race, and all boys in another. Maybe we’ll get finished before GYFL."

Richmond Invitational

Well, the weather wasn't beautiful at Earlham College, but it could have been worse. Anyone attending the Greenfield-New Castle Football game Friday night can attest to that. At Richmond, the boys were sporting their "Retro" uniforms. They were led by Christian Howland's 14th place finish. The Boys finished 7th as a team. The Girls did a little better finishing 3rd. They were led by Corinne Butler's 4th place finish.

Next up is the Pendleton Heights Invitational. This is always a tough meet, with a lot of State Ranked teams participating. It also gives the teams a change to go head to head against conference and county foes. See you all there.

One Down

First meet at Beech Grove is past us now. Team looked strong in both Girls and Boys. It was a seven team field, and unofficially (meaning this is what my son tells me) the Girls won their team competition, and the Boys finished second in theirs. All-in-all, a good showing for the first time out the gate.

I will post results as soon as I can get them.

See you all at Earlham College, Saturday, for the Richmond Invitational.

New Season is about Here

First meet of the year is tonight (Tue. Aug 18). I know the members of the team have worked hard this off season. GO COUGARS See ya at the meet!!!
