Lafayette Harrison Invitational

Wildcat Fans,

The 'Cats captured a Runner-Up finish at the 25 team Lafayette Harrison Invitational this weekend.  The Wildcats were lead by a breakout performance from Senior Joey Khamis who finished in 6th place with a time of 16:03.  Khamis' mark was good enough to put him tied for #14 in LNXC history.  Making history as well was Sophomore Ethan Hoeft whose mark of 16:11 makes him the third fastest Sophomore of all-time.  The top five were rounded out by Junior Joe Murphy (16:27), Senior Adam Oldham (16:32) and Junior Jake Hanawalt (16:37).

The Wildcat Program will be split between two meets next weekend as the the top 10 will travel to Cincinatti, OH for the Mason Invite to take on some of the top competition from the Buckeye State.  Meanwhile, the remainder of the team will go to the storied Ben Davis Invitational to take on some of the best the Hoosier state has to offer.  This will be many of these young Wildcats first taste of varsity action.  It should be another week of great Wildcat XC action!

GO CATS!
