Rupp & Dewey are the Class of Returning Juniors

#5 - Ella Henage - Oldham County

We start our top 5 list with some real fire power. Ella Henage was a huge contributor to the state championship effort by the Oldham County Colonels last season. They absolutely dominated the Class AAA team championship with 58 points (second place duPont Manual had 151 points). Ella was the third runner for the squad who came in 3rd, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 22nd. The picture above is the finish chute of that race and you can see her teammates side by side as the took home the title in this spurt.

Ella's 2019 season was one of consistency. Her times ranged from 20:26 to a PR of 19:12. All 11 of the races she ran last year were within that 1 minute and 14 second interval. That right there is the picture of consistent. She started the indoor track season in 2020 with a PR in the 800m at the UK High School Invitational in 2:25 and was ready for the outdoor season. We will await the 2020 cross country season to see if we can bring that trajectory to the course. 

Likely the scariest part about Ella's upcoming season is that the Oldham County squad is returning ALL five of their scoring runners from the dominant 2019 season. Watch out Class AAA!
