Danville Hokum Karem

Wildcat Fans,

This weekend the Wildcats won the Danville Hokum Karem.  Among the 20 team field was #4 ranked Hamilton Southeastern.  The 'Cats were led by the pair of Hoeft and Khamis who took second place with an average of 4:57 per mile over the six mile relay.  Closely following the front pair was the team of Robel Teklezghi and Joe Murphy who took 5th overall.  Jake Hanawalt and Adam Oldham rounded out the scoring for the Wildcats finishing 8th.  The 'Cats score of 15 was enough to beat HSE by only 2; 15-17.  Next weekend the Wildcats are in action in West Lafayette for the Harrison Invite.

GO CATS!

Westfield Dual Meet

Wildcat Fans,

The 'Cats suffered their first loss of the season on Friday at Sahm Park.  #10 Westfield got out to an early lead in the first mile and despite the Wildcats making up much of that ground over the next two miles, the Shamrocks never fully relinquished the lead, winning 25-30.

The Wildcats were led by Sophomore Ethan Hoeft, who ran an outstanding time of 16:21.  Hoeft's mark was good enough for Second Place and was closely followed by a third place finish from Senior Joey Khamis in 16:32.  Several Wildcats set personal bests and most were within only a few seconds of their best marks.  This is encouraging given that there is still 10 weeks left in the season in which to improve.  This week the 'Cats will be tested at the Danville Hokum Karem where they will meet up with #3 Hamilton Southeastern.  

GO CATS!

Team Camp 2012

Wildcat Fans,


The Wildcats return this week from TEAM camp 2012 held at Potato Creek State Park in South Bend, IN.  During the week campers engaged in several of the classic camp activities including; the Push-Up card game, the Push-Up Challenge, nightly TEAM planking, Mile-Repeats and Angel-Devil.


The TEAM returns for one more week of training before competition begins.  The Wildcats will kick-off their season on Thursday, August 16th at Sahm Park with a Dual Meet against the Shamrocks of Westfield High School.  The Shamrocks enter the season ranked #10; likewise the Wildcats hold a pre-season ranking of #11.  Should be a GREAT meet to start the season!


GO CATS!
