Regional run ends JCD girls & SR boys Cross Country extended season hopes

Gary Franklin, Sports Editor

Talk with coaches David Bradshaw about his Jac-Cen-Del Lady Eagles or coach Jim Cole about his South Ripley Raider boys 2011 cross country team's seasons and you'll first get a broad smile, then a host of reasons why the smile is deserved.
Both teams have been proof positive of what a little hard work and dedication can do to a running program, finishing first or second in many of their regular season competitions.
Both teams earned their way to regional XC action after positive sectional runs.
JCD Lady Eagles
The Lady Eagles topped the East Central Lady Trojans to capture a fourth place team finish in the South Dearborn HS hosted XC sectional.
Girls Teams advancing from SDHS hosted XC sectional to regional
1. Oldenburg Academy 47
2. Lawrenceburg 59
3. Batesville 107
4. Jac-Cen-Del 117
5. East Central 117
*JCD & EC team placement was determined by 6th place team finisher's placement, giving JCD the nod.
Congratulations Kathleen Maloney for outpacing the EC 6th place runner by eight positions and nearly 30 seconds.
Congratulations also to South Ripley Lady Raider freshman cross country runner Isabella Gramaglia who earned the right to run in regional action as an individual with her overall 7th place sectional finish @ 22:02.4.
