WOW! Where to start? To say that Conference Indiana teams
were dominant in sectional competition would be far more than an
understatement. ALL EIGHT Conference
teams advanced to regional competition this weekend. That performance included
sweeps in at least two sectionals where there was more than one CI school in
the field.
Perhaps the most impressive showing came at the Ben Davis
sectional. The Pike Red Devils easily won the team fray, compiling just 52
points and placing four runners in the top ten. That included race winner Lyotia
Greene. That was only the beginning.
finished second with 71 points and Perry Meridian was hot on their heels,
literally, in third with 72.
Down south, the
schools were equally as impressive in the
sectional. Bloomington South ran away with the team title, scoring just 24
points and placing all five runners in the top ten. Nicole Lucas took
individual honors for the Panthers. Bloomington North ended a distant second
with 70 points, but also placed two runners in the top five positions.
Columbus North ruled at the
outdone by their southern brethren, totaled only 28 points in cruising to
victory and again placed all five runners in the top ten of the individual
finishers. All of this has yet to mention the #4 rated Franklin Central
Flashes. You guessed it. The Flashes ruled at New Palestine. They scored only
24 points and placed all five runners in the top ten.
That leaves
central who certainly had their hands full in a very tough Brebeuf sectional.
Nonetheless, the Bears survived to fight another day by finishing fifth in the
field that contained three ranked teams.
central tallied 110 points on the day, narrowly missing fourth place that was
captured by township rival Lawrence North.
