Flashrock and Southport Invite

Wildcat Fans,

The Cats' have had a successful last two weekends. On Saturday, September 11th, we were in action at the Flashrock Invitational. We posted our fastest top-5 team time of the season and are slowly approaching the 81:00 minute barrier. We finished third behind a charging North Central squad and a solid finish by Terre Haute North. Thanks to a final stretch surge by Senior Zach Mahone, we were able to secure a one point victory over Township Rivals, Lawrence Central.

On the 25th, we were at the Southport Invite. This meet is a bit more low key than the Flashrock. While holding out a few of our top dogs, we were able to take home the win in both the Varsity and Junior Varsity races.

The week ahead will be full of Wildcat XC action as Tuesday we will host our annual Wildcat JV Invitational. Then on Saturday the team will be in action at Brebeuf H.S. for the Marion County Championships.

GO CATS!

Mason Invitational / Ben Davis Invite

The 'Cats were in action in two locations this Saturday. At Ben Davis, five of the seven who toed the line ran in their first Varsity race as a Wildcat. They did not disappoint. All seven posted season bests, and five put up the fastest race of their lives!
Meanwhile in Ohio, the Wildcats were in action at the Mason Invitational. Among the field were four top 25 ranked teams from Ohio, along with two ranked teams from Indiana (LN and Carmel). Indiana represented well as Carmel took home the title and the Wildcats took runner's up. The team was lead by Seniors Scott Stanley and Will Hogston who both posted very strong times (15:48 and 16:04). Rounding out the top 5, was Freshman standout Joe Murphy in an impressive time of 16:57. The Wildcats will be in action this weekend at Northview Christian Church in what will be one of the Season's most competitive meets, the Flashrock Invitational.

GO CATS!

Harrison Invitational

Looking like the 'Cats of old, the team was victorious this weekend at the Harrison Invitational. The unranked Cats took down five ranked opponents. The momentum carried into the JV race as well where the team took second. This was the team's first 5k of the season and the hard work that has been put in was evident from the gun. All but two posted career bests and the varsity team put up the 8th fastest team time in school history. Next weekend the team will be split between the storied Ben Davis Invite and the Mason Invitational in Cincinnati, OH.

GO CATS!

Welcome to LNXC 2010

Wildcat Families,

Welcome to the 2010 edition of Lawrence North Cross Country. On behalf of myself and the staff, I want to thank you in advance for all of the support, sacrifice and hard work that will make this season our most successful yet!

The Summer has been fun and productive so far. Our numbers have grown and we are steadily having 30+ members of the team at each conditioning session. Furthermore, we have a core of runners capable of doing more quality training at a higher volume than in the past 5 seasons. With the addition of a highly talented group of Freshman, the pieces of a very exciting season are falling into place!

As always… GO CATS!

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF THEM ON AN OUTSTANDING NIGHT!
