Kokomo Athletics

The Kokomo girls cross country team competed at the Flashrock Invitational on Saturday afternoon, placing 12th overall in a field filled with top-level competition. The meet was run under hot conditions on a challenging course, but the Lady Kats showed toughness from start to finish. Sophomore Alaina Thompson led the way for Kokomo, earning a top-20 medal with her 19th-place finish in a time of 22:05. Her performance was a bright spot in a race where times across the field were slowed by the heat and the rolling hills of the course. While the clock didn’t show personal bests this weekend, the team impressed with its determination in battling through the elements. The Lady Kats will look to carry that fight into their next competition as they travel to Culver this weekend for the Culver Invitational.
