SHELBY COUNTY INVITATIONAL
September 01, 2012 @ Shelby County High School in Shelbyville, KY
The Shelby County Invitational is annually one of the best meets of this weekend pulling several Louisville schools. The only question is will these schools actually run their full squads.
The Varsity Girls meet gives us the opening race for Class AA State Champion Gabby Karas of Collins. She is only an 8th grader with one year of varsity experience but already has many accomplishments under her belt. She is only 1 of 14 girls EVER in Kentucky to run sub 5:00 for the 1600m, ranking 7th with a 4:57. She has a 5K best of 18:01 ranking 10th on the KYtrackXC.com All-time 5K list. The question tomorrow is does she run in the Varsity race or in the middle school race. She mixed it up and did both last year when she was battling with her sister, Caterina who was the 2010 AA XC Champ.
Class AAA #3 Sacred Heart looks to be the favorite for the win depending who actually runs in ...
