Hawks 8th at East Boys Invite
Posted on: August 27, 2024
The Lakota East Cross Country team got the regular season underway in spectacular fashion at the Lakota East Fall Classic on Saturday. The varsity boys started hot, with nearly all 10 runners knocking a minute or more off of their previous week's time. Senior Captain Blake Gibbs turned on the jets to clock a 16:06, good enough to bump him up to the 11th fastest man in Lakota East history. Stepping up again were freshman Jacob Turner and sophomore Daniel Gibson, finishing second and third, respectively. Elijah Grissom and Evan Watterson rounded out the scoring for the Hawks. The team finished 8th in a loaded field of 18 teams.
The boys and girls open races showed out in a major way for East. Senior Steven Troutman had a monster PR, battling to a 13th place finish in a field of 262 runners. Sophomore Jackson Ferrell also turned out a monster performance in his first ever 5k showing. On the girls side, senior Alyssa Brunk had an impressive 14th place finish in very hot conditions.
The Hawks are back in action this Saturday at the Lebanon Invitational.
