The annual running of the Ripley County High School Cross Country Meet held at Batesville on Thursday, August 30, resulted in the Batesville Lady Bulldogs and the Batesville boys' teams both taking the team competition first place trophies.
However, top ten runners of the event found Ben Montgomery of the South Ripley Raider team the fastest runner in the boys' event, finishing the course in 17:59 Montgomery was the only runner to take the course in under 18 minutes.
Lady Eagle runner Samantha White greatly improved her running time from the Rushville XC Invitational to capture the second place spot in the girls' event, finishing the race in 21:35, just 17 seconds behind the Lady Bulldog first place winner.
