Cards compete hard in conference meet

The Conference Indiana cross-country meet was held at the Indiana University cross-country course in Bloomington. Southport was one of the eight competing teams on Wednesday, Oct. 7th. The ladies finished in sixth place.

Junior Kelly Hodges led the cards with a 13th place finish in a time of 19:50. Hodges was trailed by senior Nicolette Crouch who finished in 20th place. Following Crouch was a pack containing junior Katy White in 39th place, junior Emily Odle in 42nd place, and freshman Brooke Gagliola in 43rd place. Head coach Nathan Fishel said that the girls competed hard, but did not collectively perform as well as the rest of the field. Although the meet was a struggle, Fishel remains positive.

“This meet represents the continual challenge to work and train to improve to be the best we can be. This is a meet we can build and improve upon,” said Fishel.

The cards will enter their tournament season at the sectional meet held at Ben Davis High School, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13th.
