Leopard Boys Take 1st, Girls 2nd at East Canton Invitational – Cross Country
The Louisville Leopards Cross Country Teams competed at the East Canton Invitational Wednesday at East Canton High School. The Louisville Boys placed first in their second straight meet against 7 competing teams in the boys large school division race. The Lady Leopards edged out Jackson by a single point to claim second place out of 7 competing teams in the girls large school division race.
Boys – 24 (1st Out of 7)
Juniors Bobby Ganser (16:15.2) and Colby Adams (16:53.3) finished 1-2 for the Leopards who dominated the competition at East Canton. Ganser took 1st place 38.1 seconds ahead of his teammate in Adams. Ganser finished a full 1:22.1 ahead of the next best runner from another school, Tuslaw’s Joe Viront (17:37.3) who placed third.
Louisville Junior Stephen Ulrich (17:43.4) finished just behind Viront in fourth place. Fellow Juniors Owen Pukys (18:00.0) and Sam Chlebeck (18:18.0) also came in 8th and 9th respectively.
The Leopards flexed their depth after that as a total of 13 LHS runners competed in the large division race. Other top 20 Louisville runners included Freshman Grant Brown (12th) and junior Calvin Kiko (17th).
Girls – 66 (2nd Out of 7)
Senior Caitlyn Gatta (21:57.5) paced the Lady Leopards with a 7th place finish individually. Gatta’s finish was particularly significant because she finished just 2.3 seconds ahead of Jackson Freshman Grace Williams who came in 8th. Louisville finished just one point ahead of the Polar Bears in the final tally 66-67, so Gatta’s finish proved to be the difference in handing the Leopards second place as a team.
Not far behind Gatta was the Louisville trio of junior Diana Pukys (22:17.3), sophomore Chloe Cole (22:23.5), and sophomore Sophia Mackall (22:28.0) who finished 11th through 13th respectively. Junior Summer Gronow (23:40.7) rounded out the Lady Leopards top 5 scoring 23 and coming in 29th.
Altogether 12 Louisville girls ran in the large division race. Other top LHS runners included Hayley Smith (37th) and Aliya Shine (38th) who crossed the finish line back-to-back.
The Green Bulldogs finished with 4 runners in the top 9 in rolling to a 1st place finish as a team with 33 total points. Senior Olivia Gang (19:38.1) won the race individually to lead the Lady Bulldogs.
UP NEXT: The Leopards will next compete at the Spartan Invitational on Saturday, September 19th. Division I races begin at 8:30 AM from Boardman High School.
