The RCHS Boys and girls XC team competed at the New Castle Invitational on Tuesday evening. The RCHS boys were 1st and the girls were 2nd.
The boys really went out after the victory. We had a team split of 50 seconds for our 1-5 runners. Our guys placed 4 in the top 9 and all 7 in the top 16. This is a tremendous feat. The boys were led by Hunter Parmerlee (5th), Charlie Sterrett (7), Ryan Schindler (8), Wyatt Jacobs (9), and Isaac Krodel(12). Isaac Schelle(14) and Trent Dyer(16) complete the varsity roster today.
On the girls side our 2-5 runners only had a 38 second split. We had 2 in top 10 and all 7 in top 15. Senior Olivia Wehr led the Lady Lions with a 6th place finish while freshman Jentri Wallace stepped up as #2 today with a 10th place finish. Then the Lady Lions took the next 7 spots, Maddy Hankins(11), Mia Norvell(12), Ashley Whitham(13), Sofia Kemple(14), Cyndi Tush(15), Jorja Ellis(16), and Lanea Adams(17). The girls ran very well today but fell short to a tough New Castle team.
