Top to bottom, the 'Cats were on record setting pace at Saturday's Lafayette Harrison Invitational. This race was held at the traditionally fast course at the Tippecanoe Amphitheater, and given the near perfect conditions at race time, it was bound to be a fast day. It was. The 'Cats were led by an outstanding performance from Senior Joe Murphy. His time of 15:33 puts him #2 all-time for LNXC. Following closely behind him was fellow Senior Robel Teklezghi who ran 15:47. That mark is good enough to him tied for the 10th fastest time in program history! Lastly, rounding out our front pack, was Senior Jake Hanawalt. He finished in 15:51 and is sitting at #13 on our all-time list. Further, our top 5 posted a team-time of 81:07, which is the 10th fastest performance in school history and the fastest we have ever run at the Harrison Invitational. (including Nef Araia's Senior year... and mind you we were short on of our top 5 runners!) The top 5 was rounded out by Personal Best performances from Juinors TJ Jerger and Erik Perkins. Next week the 'Cats will be in action at the Pike JV Dual meet on Tuesday and the Ben Davis Invitational on Saturday.
GO CATS!
