🏃♂️ CROSS COUNTRY 🏃♀️
9/17 - Varsity at New Prairie Invite - complete results
NEW CARLISLE - by Lisa Bemish - Indiana's largest athletic event took place Saturday at the New Prairie Cross Country Invitational. 109 teams from Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois came together to run on what was a perfect weather day in New Carlisle. Excitement was in the air. Most of the Triton Varsity members LOVE the New Prairie course and couldn't wait to hit the ground running, literally.
The freshmen were equally excited to try this course with an edge of fear knowing they were finally going to get their shot at Snake Canyon and Agony Hill. The lone Senior, Anna McIntyre, was trying to soak it all in. She said she was so excited to be there and so sad it was her last time also.
The Triton Varsity teams ran against other schools in the Class A competition. The girl's Varsity team placed 13th out of 26 teams with a total of 219 girl runners. The boy's Varsity team placed 27th out of 33 teams with a total of 255 boy runners. Don't let those team placing fool you though. Out of our 7 Varsity boys, 3 set PR's (Hunter, Connor, & Sam), 3 ran their season-best time (Jaydon, Travis, & Andrew), and one only missed a new season best by 7 seconds.
Andrew Gould took over 3 minutes off his time from last season at this invite. Hunter Schaetzle took over 2 minutes off his time from last year. And Jaydon Heckaman was over a minute faster this year compared to last. Equally, the Varsity girls all ran really well today also. Out of the 6 members, 2 set season-best records (Jocelynn and Rory) and 2 set new personal records of all time (Anna and Maddy).
The 2 freshman girls ran great but one had the course get the best of her. The story goes, she got a rock in her shoe, in an attempt to kick off the shoe, flipped it up and caught it mid-air, and kept running carrying one shoe in hand.
It was a memorable day. Triton Senior, Anna McIntyre, not only set a PR today but was OVER 4 minutes faster this year than last year at New Prairie. So not only did she take it all in, she went out with a BANG!!! Nice job Anna!!!
The HIGHLIGHT of the DAY though was the amazing run by Jocelynn Faulkner. She not only ran a season-best time but placed 7th overall, in what was a PHOTO Finish. She gave it her all at the finish line and almost took down a long-time rival from Pioneer. That being said, she was still the lone medal winner for Triton!! A huge CONGRATULATIONS goes out to her!!!

CULVER - by Joe Wood - Triton played in an epic showdown with Culver on Tuesday evening! The Trojans scored on their first possession with a 55-yard drive and a touchdown from Ryder Gayheart. Culver answered back with a touchdown in the second quarter to tie the game up at 6-6. A defensive stance would go on with both teams until halftime. In the second half, the momentum leaned towards Culver with the Cavaliers going on a 15-0 run in the 3rd quarter. The Trojans still had some gas in the tank and fought back in the 4th quarter with a quarterback keeper from Brady Wood and a rushing PAT. That made the score 21-19 with 3:19 left in the game. Triton would successfully retrieve an on-side kick but fell short with the final being 21-19 Culver.
