Teams Attending

 

GIRLS

Stars of the Region

Karly Gawarecki - Holy Cross (Louisville)

Caroline Gosser - Presentation

Double Showdown coming from these two in the 1600m and 3200m.  They are ranked #1 and #2 in Class A (Gawarecki 1600 #1, Gosser 3200m #1.)  Let the battle begin!!!  Gosser will not be in the 3200m Relay which will allow her to stay fresh longer.

Mikayla Talbott - Green County

Double #1 seed in the throws, currently ranked 6th in Class A in both the Shot Put and Discus.

 

Team Outlook:

Holy Cross with Gawarecki and Madison Riley scoring strong will look for the win but will have a bumpy road with sprint heavy Fort Knox,  distance focused Presentation, and field events from Green County.

 

BOYS

Stars of the Region:

Khari Saunders - Fort Knox

Saunders showed up on the scene this year and has popped off some of the best times in Class A.  He is the #1 seed in the 100m, 200m, and 400m.

 

Evan Jaggers - Green County 

Will challenge Saunders in the sprints as well as do very well in the Long and Triple Jump.

 

Jonathan Taylor - Portland Christian

Matthew Bode - Louisville Collegiate

3200m showdown is coming from Class A State XC Champ Bode and the veteran Taylor.  Should be a side by side race to the finish.  

 

 

Team Outlook: 

Fort Knox finished up the season ranked #2 overall in Class A behind Saunders and Kasaun James.  Green County should be hot on their heals led by Jaggers.
