Evan Brown and Ryan Mann Louisville Leopards Cross Country at Salem Early Bird Invitational

Louisville 124 (4th Out of 10)

<<< 2024 Season | Boys Cross Country Schedule | Next East Canton Invitational >>>

Corey Street for Mayor AdThe Louisville Boys Cross Country team kicked off the season at the Salem Early Bird Invitational last Saturday. This year the Invitational attracted several stronger running schools than in seasons past. The competition was fierce!

The Leopards finished 4th out of 10 teams. Leading them was Evan Brown, who finished 19th overall. He was followed closely by freshman Ryan Mann who finished 21st. Rounding out the top 5 scorers were: Gianni Faiello (26th), Luke Boldon (28th), and Isaac Beltz (30th). Placing 6th and 7th for the team were Cael Benson (37th) and Brock Cole (39th). Alex Lewton (40th) was just a step behind Brock.

The top 5 Leopard runners finished within 12 places and 40 seconds of each other. The next 3 LHS runners were close behind. This team is demonstrating a strong pack-running  tendency.
