Noblesville Black & Gold Recap

The boys' cross-country team was in action Saturday at Noblesville High School, competing in a 16 team invitational.  The Bulldogs ran a strong race, finishing in 8th place overall and running their record to 19 victories against 17 defeats.  Almost every varsity member ran JV last year, so their improvement against a very talented field has been fun to watch!

Mark Bond continued to lead the Bulldog attack with an average time of 4 minutes and 58 seconds per mile for 3 miles in the relay-type race.  He and teammate Hari Sathyamurthy romped to an 11th place finish, followed by the teams of Elijah Waggoner with Brandon Britton and Seth Webster with Marcus Fierek.  Webster earned "Dog of the Meet" honors with his fast and consistent miles during the event.  Caleb Krizan was one of the highlights of the day, making his first varsity start and finishing with an impressive 5:48 pace per mile.

BHS Boys' XC Memo for August 26th

CC parents & team,

Tomorrow's practice: I just wanted to remind/inform all of you that Tuesday's practice this week begins and ends at Eagle Creek Park (3:30 - 5:30).  We meet in the small parking lot just southeast of the park.  Coming from Brownsburg, you go past the park entrance on 56th St and make your first right about 50 yards after the park.  The parking lot is right there on the left. Do not go into the park.

All of the boys today said that they have rides now.  Six of them will be riding with Mrs. Bond, a few with Mrs. Waggoner, and I have room for a couple more if need be.  I will be returning to the high school if anybody needs a ride back.  Boys, make sure to bring all of your clothes, bookbags, etc. with you, as we will not be getting back into the locker rooms after practice.

Paperwork & Fee: Most of the boys are done with having parents electronically sign the paperwork online and pay the $100 activity fee. Today is the deadline if you have not done so! Go to the athletic department web site and click on "information" to access those forms.

Riding home with parents: There is a new online form to be filled out each time a team member rides with a parent after a meet. Please remember that all team members must ride the bus unless going to a function outside Brownsburg after the meet.  Thank you!

Plainfield Relays

The boys' cross-country team was in action again Saturday at the Plainfield Relays, a race in which pairs alternate one-mile repeats for a total of 6 miles.  The Bulldogs had a very strong showing, placing 7th out of 18 teams, thanks in big part to our #1 team of Mark Bond and Hari Sathyamurthy.  The dynamic duo placed 10th overall out of 80 finishers.  Bond had the team’s fastest average, traversing the course at a clip of 4 minutes and 55 seconds per mile!

Sathyamurthy followed Bond's pace, averaging 5:08 per mile, while Elijah Wagner (5:16 per mile), Brandon Britton (5:21 per mile), Marcus Fierek (5:22), and Seth Webster (5:23) turned in stellar performances on the flat, grassy loop.  Caleb Krizan was the top Brownsburg finisher in the JV race, cruising 2 miles in a time of 11:50.
