The Logan County High School cross country team recently got some really good news.

They will be hosting the Class 2A Region 1 championship meet on Saturday, November 7.

“We are excited about our new course that has been constructed in the woods and can’t wait to unveil it soon,” said LCHS cross country coach Greg Howard.

The Logan County teams competed in the Bowing Green High School invitational meet over the weekend at Kereiakes Park.

The boys team finished 10th out of 15 teams.

The Cougars were led by freshman Sye Head, who came in 27th with a time of 18:36.

Troy Fulcher was 48th and Colton Spencer was 51st. Noah Thomas was 75th.

On the girls side, the Lady Cougars were missing some runners because they were taking the ACT.

Still, Macie Dye was the top LCHS female in the event. She came in 43rd with a time of 23:15.

Several former LCHS runners are still competing in the college ranks, according to Howard.

“I am also proud of the fact that four of our track and cross country runners are attending colleges on scholarships running,” the coach said.

Joe Dan Laster is a walk-on at Western Kentucky University and will be running track and cross country. LeRon Collier is on scholarship and is running track at Georgetown College. Scott Kenney is also on scholarship and running both sports at Berea College. Kelsey Gregory is attending Union College on scholarship and running track.Þ
