South Ripley hosted its 28th Annual Great Pumpkin Cross Country Invitational Thursday. Austin dominated the boys race with a near perfect 16 points. Jac-Cen-Del was a distant second with 90 points. South Ripley came in third.
Breaking up a potential top-5 sweep by Austin was JCD’s Josh Pohle who placed 5th. Also from our coverage schools, South Decatur’s Trevor Newby came in 10th.
