Women’s cross-country competes at Ben Davis on Oct. 8

On Oct. 8, the women’s cross-country team will compete at the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC) Championships meet, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Ben Davis. This meet features all of the top teams in the MIC.

According to Head Coach Chuck Koeppen, the team is fairly healthy headed into the meets. “No disrespect meant to the rest of the teams in the MIC but I think our girls are going to be in pretty good shape,” Koeppen said. “Maybe we won’t need to get so fired up and psyched up for the MIC and still have all that coming into the Sectionals against the defending State champs, Westfield.”

Runner and sophomore Theresa Lipp said she agrees with Koeppen. “There’s always a few (runners) that have shin splints or stress fractures, but overall there are no major injuries on the girls’ team,” Lipp said. “So far we have won all meets but there are some really good teams out there so we have to simply try our best.”

“We’ve been resting kids that have been weary and maybe a little beat up, and we haven’t run our best runners every meet,” Koeppen said. “We’ve won every meet even without them though, so when it comes time to put our best runners in, we have a very good team.”
