Connersville

The CMS Cross Country team traveled to East Central for their first meet of the season. This was a 4 team event with East Central, Union County, and St. Lawrence providing great competition, after a week of no school or practice. The girls currently have only 4 runners and could not achieve a team score. As expected, Cree Slater led the team finishing 22nd (17:05), new-comer Essmae Brewer was close behind in 24th (17:42), and Leanna Paul was in 39th (21:23). The boys showed great promise, finishing 2nd behind a very strong Union County team, only 7 points out of first! Leading the way for the Spartans was Leo Moyer in 2nd (11:13), Desmond Shipman in 3rd (12:02) and Noah Frost in 12th (13:09). Other finishers: 12th Clay Glover 13:47 16th Hunter Gregory 14:21 21st Boyd Durstine 14:48 24th Landon Bales 14:54 38th Ryan Owens 20:33 Coach Gibbs can see loads of potential in this team and a reason to be excited about the rest of the season. The team returns to action on Monday 8/24 in Greensbug at their huge 24 team invitational.
