Tournament Recap

The boys' cross-country team had a very eventful fall break of tournament races, beginning with a runner-up finish in the Sectionals.  The team ran very well, highlighted by the individual sectional champion Mark Bond.  Hari Sathyamurthy ran to a 6th place finish as well.

Next up for the Dogs was the Regional Championship, where the team ran incredibly and placed 3rd behind Zionsville and Avon.  Amazingly, all seven varsity boys ran personal best times on the wet and soggy Ben Davis course, led once again with a convincing victory by Mark Bond. The performance of the day, however, went to sophomore Hari Sathyamurthy, who was the runner-up with a mind boggling 1 minute personal record! He was followed by Elijah Wagner, Seth Webster, Marcus Fierek, Brandon Britton, and Jack Thomas.


The top 20 teams in the Semistate went to battle last Saturday, with the Bulldogs coming home in a very impressive 9th place finish, only 3 spots out of qualifying for the state finals. The support of the junior varsity Bulldog crazies helped to spur the boys on to a great race.  The Dogs were led by Sathyamurthy but also had extremely strong races from Webster and Britton.  The boys end their season with a strong record of 103 wins versus 72 losses.
