IHSAA Cross Country







The weather cooperated for Saturday's running of the Marion IHSAA girls and boys cross country regional races on the Indiana Wesleyan University campus.
Making the day even better for the Norwell Knights boys' team was their fourth-place finish, which qualifies the Knights for the New Haven IHSAA semi-state race on Saturday, Oct. 25., in Fort Wayne.

Before the races began, coaches of the teams met for brief instructions.

As the boys' 5K race developed, Norwell sophomore Alex Cushman (594) kept passing runners on his way towards the front of the field.
Deeper into the boys' race field, Norwell's Ben DeVoe (595) steadily makes his way along the course to help the Knights finish with a good team score.
At the end of the boys' race, Norwell senior Ethan Roebuck (left) helps fellow senior Tommie Horn as he battles to recover from a grueling run.
After the races were completed, Norwell's Alex Cushman receives his 11th-place ribbon from Marion High School athletic director Rocky Kent.
