State Meet



















Jason Crist represented the Flashes well at the State Meet in Terre Haute, becoming one of only ten guys to finish with All-State honors for 4 years! Jason placed 18th overall and qualified for the Indiana All Star Team!

Congratulations, Jason. Now he prepares for our post-season and the rest of us begin Winter Conditioning on Friday with some Frisbee!

Semi-State

It was another rough year for the Flashes XC Team at the Carmel Semi-State. We finished a heartbreaking 7th for the third consecutive season, despite being ranking in the top ten statewide each of those years.

The Flashes ran incredibly well, just getting nipped by a strong Lawrence Central squad.

The good news is that Senior Sensation Jason Crist placed 4th at the meet, and will advance as an individual to the state meet.

For full results, check here.

The good news is that we have 10 varsity letter-winners returning next year for the Flashes Boys team. We have one year to get ready to rock and make it back to state!

Sectional and Regional Champs!















The Flashes traveled to New Palestine this past Tuesday, dominating the field at the Sectional Meet and advancing to Regionals. Jason Crist was sectional champion and the Flashes placed 7 runners in the top 10.

On Saturday, the Flashes traveled to Tony Stewart's old stomping grounds of Rushville and put on quite a display. The Flashes dominated the Regional, placing 7 boys in the top 16 spots. Jason Crist was runner-up to a Tate Schienbein of Union County, who has been a solid force in Indiana XC over the past four years.

Now it is on to the Semi-State Meet at Northview Christian Church in Carmel, Indiana. The Flashes must place in the top 6 in order to advance to the following week's state finals in Terre Haute.

Conference Indiana














The Flashes fared well at Conference Indiana, placing third in a "throw back meet" to the Glory Days of Southeastway Park. This is always a tough meet for us, since we race the Marin County meet just a few days prior and must recover quickly.

Race of the day went to Shane Wright, who stepped up running 2nd man for the Flashes.

Marion County

The Flashes traveled to Brebeuf on Saturday in hopes of coming home with the school's first Marion County Championship. Unfortunately, we came up 3rd to a very good North Central team and a lights-out Lawrence Central squad.

The Freshman turned in a fourth place finish, led by frosh sensation RJ Atwal, who placed 5th overall. Even more impressive--RJ lost to only one runner that beat him last year at 8th Grade County. Great work, RJ and FC Freshmen!

In the JV race, FC Junior Shane Wright dominated the field in an impressive 16:54.

This week it is on to the Freshmen 5-way at Warren followed by the Conference Indiana meet on Wedensday at SEway park, where the Flashes match up against 3 top-5 ranked squads.
