State Qualifiers!

 Sorry I have not updated throughout the tournament, but I do have some incredible news:

The Flashes were Sectional champions, then Regional Champions, and today achieved our season goal of qualifying for the IHSAA State Finals to be run in Terre Haute next Saturday.

Special congratulations to Shane Wright for a 13th place semi-state finish. Shane would have qualified for the state finals even had the team not advanced. I am proud of the character and leadership Shane has shown in these last few weeks and proud of the team for stepping up big when it counts!

Warren Freshman Invite

The Freshman County Champions represented again on Tuesday at WC Freshman Invitational. We had some huge PRs and nipped Brebeuf on the sixth man to take home a second place finish. This was the story of the season for this squad. Coach Jones had the top 15 finishers on the "podium" and said, "This is the future of Indiana Cross Country." No Flashes were on the Podium...but as a team we ended up second. These guys are the future of our program and they are off to a wonderful start!
