August 23, 2023 at 12:20 a.m.
The Rushville cross country teams competed against Greensburg, South Decatur, and Hauser Aug. 15 in their opening meet of the season. No team scores were kept. Leading the way for the Lions were senior Charlie Sterrett and junior Hunter Parmerlee. Everyone had a great night and set personal records on this course. The Lady Lions had just as impressive a start to the season. They were led by freshman Josie Corn, Melaney Mahan and senior Maddy Hankins. Corn and Mahan were 2nd to Greensburg in the partner style 6-mile race. As with the boys, the ladies all set personal course records.
Over the weekend, RCHS traveled to the John Cleland Invitational hosted by Zionsville. The 4K race is a good transitional start to the XC season for the Lions. Over 1000 athletes from across the state of Indiana competed in 2 age-level races.
Leading the team in the freshman/sophomore race for the Lady Lions was Corn who placed 54th in the field of 255 in her age group. Freshman Mahan, Kendra Jacobs, Layla Denney Josie Newhouse and sophomore Jentri Wallace completed the freshman/sophomore team that placed 14th overall. The junior/senior race for the Lady Lions was Hankins' 129 out of the field of 248. Other finishers were Mia Norvell, Jorja Ellis, and Lanea Adams.
For the Lions, Parmerlee was 83/217 leading the Lions to a 14th place finish in the very competitive field. Sterrett was next for the Lions followed by Issac Schelle, Dustin King and Wyatt Jacobs. Other finishers were Jacob Branson and Tanner Ash. Also leading the Lions in the freshman/sophomore race was Logan Jacobs' 101st out of the 328-person field. Other finishers were Kyle Jacobs, Antonio Viera and Ty Ellis.
“This meet is a great experience for these kids,” said coach Amy Tush. “They get the chance to compete against some of the best in the state. I am pleased with where we are right now. We have some work to do on both boys and girls sides. We have to get closer to New Palestine and New Castle if we want to reach our goals this season.”
The Rushville Classic is Saturday, 9:30 am at BRMS.
