The Junior High Cross Country team did a great job on Saturday at their sectional at Shelbyville. Shelbyville is known to be one of the toughest courses around and Harper Littlejohn conquered it with a PR and a 7th place finish to earn her a place to run in Bloomington at state next weekend! Ryder Rhoads, Bella Towles, and Ada Todd all received PRs for the day. Everyone ran great and improved their times from when we ran the Shelbyville Invitational a month ago but the standouts were Ryder Rhoads, Kai Jones, Greyson Robinson, Addy Cox, and Ada Todd who all improved their times by more than a minute. We are proud of all of them and their hard work this season!
