The Bulldogs traveled to Rising Sun to compete in a 4-way meet against the Shiners, the Jac-Cen-Del Eagles, and the Milan Indians on Thursday, September 5. The teams faced the most challenging conditions of the year thus far, battling the heat and a hilly course.

The girls had a team score of 16 while Rising Sun had 42. Milan and Jac-Cen-Del did not have complete teams.
