Season Recap: MS Cross Country

Runner-up finishes in the Tri-State Championship in early October was a culmination of a season marked with improvement and hard work for the MS Indians and Lady Indians. The team's schedule contained 10 meets in a little under two months.

TFS competed in several Tri-State meets prior to the Championship run at Summit Charter. Overall, the girls had four runner-up finishes in Tri-State meets, and five top-5 finishes at meets overall. The boys had a couple of first-place finishes at conference meets, and also recorded five top-5 finishes.

The girls were paced often by Mia Kerr, who was the leading runner for the Lady Indians in seven of the 10 meets. She had five top-10 finishes individually. Mary Kate Ball led the Lady Indians three times, and had six top-10 finishes. That duo along with Lily Denard (four top-10s) were consistent throughout the season.

The Indians featured Avery Chatman, who finished as the Tri-State Champion individually, and was runner-up in three other meets. He was the leading runner for TFS in the final six meets of the season. Sam Belk and Owen Earp each had a couple of top-5 finishes, and others such as Sebastian York and Peter Greiving were near the top of the pack.

The girls team, though small in roster size, will be mostly intact, with Kerr, Ball, Denard, and Betsey Orr being seventh-graders. The boys will see top runners Chatman, Belk, and a few others move up to the high school level. However, Earp, York, and Greiving will be looking to lead the team to make another run at the conference next year.
