Junior, Josie Selm, finished 26th, with a time of 26:10. This is over 3 minutes faster than her time last year on the same course.

The Wildcat Girls continue to be competitive as they enter the start of the 2019 season.
The competition was fierce at the Richmond Invitational, which took place on IU East’s Cross Country course.
Even though they ran faster, collectively, than last year, they couldn’t get a runner in a top 25 spot. Junior, Drew Grant, was the top finisher for Franklin County, with a time of 19:26. Sophomore, Ben Maze, was close behind with a time of 19:41. The next three finishers were newcomers to the sport. Senior, Harvey Marshall, and freshmen, Hunter and Harmon Marshall, rounded out the top 5 Wildcat spots. After coming off an injury, Kyle Seibert finished in the 6th spot, with a time of 21:48. Sophomore, Eric Schwab was close behind Kyle, with a time of 21:59.
The Wildcat Boys put in great performance against some large schools with large teams.
