SHELBYVILLE, Ind. – Hagerstown’s cross country teams competed in the Golden Bear Shelbyville Invitational on Saturday with the boys taking second and the girls third.
Logan Tuttle led the Tigers with a third-place finish in 16:49, and six others placed in the top 25.
Kaleb Slagle was sixth, Eli Halcomb 14th, Holden Robinson 19th, Dylan Napier 20th, and Seth Richards 22nd.
“I love this course, but it was super hot,” Tuttle said. “I think it went pretty well with all the heat and humidity.”
The event winner was Christian Academy, which is ranked first in the small-school poll.
“I was pleased with our effort in the heat,” Hagerstown Head Coach Kent Gray said. “Looking at the times coming in, I didn’t think we could stay within 40 points of Christian Academy, who is number one in the small school poll and 15 this week in the all-class poll. They got us by 22, which is significant, but we were much closer than I expected. I’m very proud of our boys.”
The Tigers also placed 11th of 30 teams among all classes and are currently ranked fourth in the state among small schools.
On the girls side, Logan McRoberts led the Tigers with a time of 22:14 to finish fifth.
Anna Shafer was 11th, Madison Zetzl 27th, Maci Matanich 28th and Bailey Foor 34th.
As a team, the girls were also 15th of 29 overall.
“The ladies snapped back well after a lackluster meet at Connersville on Tuesday with a good performance,” Gray said. “I expected us to be about 6th to 8th, so I’m most happy about third. All our runners finished strong and survived the heat.”
