This past Friday May 31st the Wildcats finished fourth at the IHSAA State Finals in the 4x800m relay. The team of Ethan Hoeft (10), Robel Tekelzghi (11), Joey Khamis (12) and Joe Murphy (11) ran an outstanding time of 7:49.94 which puts them the fourth all-time relay in Lawrence North History. Also, school record holder Joe Murphy finished fourth in the 800m. Earlier in the tournament, Joe's mark of 1:52.99 broke the existing school record set by Indiana University Sophomore and NCAA Championship bound Josh Roche of 1:53.54.
The lone Senior on the relay, Joey Khamis, closes out his career as one of LN's most consistent performers. His marks of 16:03 for Cross Country and 4:21 for 1600m put him #15 all-time at 5K and #8 all-time at 1600m. Congratulations Joey on a GREAT CAREER as a Wildcat!
GO CATS!
