2013 REGIONALS RECAP

The boys' cross-country team came into regional action Saturday morning at Ben Davis High School as the #5 seeded team but came home in 3rd place after an incredible performance on the rainsoaked course.  All seven of the Bulldog harriers set all-time personal record times over the 5K distance to easily outdistance fourth-place Ritter and fifth-place Ben Davis.  Zionsville and Avon claimed the top two spots, but the fireworks on the morning were reserved for the 1-2 individual finishes of regional champion Mark Bond and regional runner-up Hari Sathyamurthy of Brownsburg.  Bond ran away from the competition midway through the race, and Sathyamurthy closed fast to crush his personal record by a full one minute! Elijah Wagner, Seth Webster, and Marcus Fierek closed out the scoring positions for the Dogs, while Brandon Britton and Jack Thomas added crucial depth. This finish moves the team on to the semistate championships next Saturday in Carmel.
