Austin Cavanaugh got a preview of next month‘s region cross country course at Saturday’s Marshall County Invitational in Draffenille. However, the Trigg County senior also knows there’s work to be done if he wants to repeat as region champion.
Cavanaugh finished in third place Saturday in a time of 17:09. His time was 10 seconds behind Webster County’s Garrett West who finished in second place. Cavanaugh, West, and Webster County’s Laydon Wagoner, who did not run Saturday, are considered the favorites for the region title.
Riley Thompson ran a time of 19:31 to finish in 52nd place and Matthew Reeves covered the 3.1-mile course in 21:21 to finish 95th.
Madisonville’s Drew Burden won the race with a time of 16:39.
Trigg County didn’t have the five runners necessary to report a team score.
