Austin Cavanaugh is looking to cement his place as one of Trigg County‘s all-time greatest cross country runners in 2022. The Wildcat Senior got off to a good start Saturday by winning the Christian County Season Opener on the campus of both Christian County High School and Hopkinsville Community College.
Cavanaugh led wire to wire and crossed the line first in a time of 16 minutes and 40 seconds. He beat second place Layden Wagoner of Webster County by 18 seconds. Cavanaugh is the two-time defending regional champion and top-10 state finisher.
Riley Thompson was the second Wildcat across the finish line with a time of 18:25 that was good for 11th place.
Matthew Reeves was 31st in a time of 21:37, and Caleb Fogle was 56th in 24:13.
Trigg County did not have the full five runners needed to turn in a team score.
