Cavanaugh, Thompson Lead Trigg Runners at Marshall County

Austin Cavanaugh brought home a third place finish at the 42^nd Annual Marshall County Cross Country Invitational.

The Trigg County sophomore ran 1.5 miles in 8:11 to finish behind Marshall County’s Cade Flatt and Ethan McCarty.  The top three runners were separated by 14 seconds.

The race was shortened from the normal 3.1-mile length due to COVID-19 recommendations from the KHSAA earlier this year that also saw the runners compete in waves throughout the morning to cut down on crowding the field.

Riley Thompson scored a top-10 finish with a time of 8:52.  River Oliver was 12^th in 8:54, and Marshall Jenkins was 13^th in 8:55.

Ryan Simpson rounded out the scoring with a 40^th place finish in 9:41.

Trigg County’s team total of 77 points was second only to Marshall County’s team score of 67 points.
