Edmonson Voice Sports:
The Edmonson County Cross Country teams traveled to Larue County on Tuesday, October 1st for the Jack Mitchell Invitational where the boys' team won the 10 team meet with a score of 40 points.

Leading the way was the overall champion Ashton Johnson followed by Tyler Brooks 3rd, Aidan Meredith 4th. Both earned All Meet honors.

Also finishing for the boys were Landon Frainch 15th, Jack Browning 17th, Zander Garrett 18th, Jonah Massey 29th and Owen Ruth 31st. There were a total of 70 runners in the race. 

“I’m so happy for our boys," said Head Coach Brad Meredith. "They followed our race plan perfectly.  We knew this was a hard course. That's why we wanted to race it , to prepare us for the post season.  For them to come in on this tough course and beat teams like John Hardin, Central Hardin , Larue, Elizabethtown, Warren Central shows their talent, hard work, and their potential for postseason."

Edmonson County also had some individuals in the middle school race. Dayton Chidester earned all meet honors by finishing 10th overall, while Gavin Johnson finished 29th. 

In the girls varsity race, Mollie Johnson earned all meet honors by finishing 8th out of 50 runners, followed by Bree Johnson in 40th in her first race.

“Our individuals raced hard today. It was probably their best race this season even though it wasn’t their fastest times. Again this course is tough but it is preparing us for the postseason and helping us to reach our goals we have set for ourselves,” Coach Meredith said. 

The cross country teams will be off through fall break but will be back for their district meet on October 17th.
