(Press release from Mason County coach Mark Kachler)
Mason County
will host the 12th annual Mason County Cross Country Invitational
Saturday on the grounds of the Carmeuse Facility in Maysville, KY. This year’s
meet is shaping up to be one of the largest ever held at the facility. Forty-six schools will be represented on Saturday hosting over 1,300 entered athletes.
The day will begin at 8:30 AM with an Open 5K. The public is invited to come
run the course that the high school athletes will compete on later in the day.
High school races begin at 9:00 a.m. with a JV race. The girls varsity race will start at 9:30. The girls varsity field this year includes three preseason top 10 teams in "A" division- Beechwood (3), Covington Holy Cross (10) and "AA" Covington Scott (6). Currently in the power rankings there will be 11 girls ranked in the top 20 of their divisions led by Sophia Delisio of Simon Kenton who will be the favorite to win the girls' individual title. Mason County's Rheagan Sizemore should challenge for the top spot with Fleming County's Olivia Leet. The current power rankings have seven girls teams in
the top 10 of their divisions at this time with Simon Kenton being the
favorite to repeat their 2014 performance and bring home the title. 2013 girls
team champion Covington Scott should be the main challenger to Simon Kenton but
Beechwood is also capable of gaining the win.
The boys varsity race will immediately follow the girls and has two pre-season top 10 teams in
"A” Beechwood (10) and “AA” Russell (6). The boys race has eight harriers ranked in the top 10 in their divisions. The early individual favorite would be Covington Scott’s Chris Stoeckel. Bishop Brossart has claimed the last 3 boys team titles and looks to make it four in a row on Saturday with three runners ranked in the top 10 in the power rankings and a current team ranking of #4. Locally, Bracken County’s boys are currently ranked #10 in “A” in the power rankings. The “AA” power ranking have Russell currently at #7 and Boyd Co just across the hill at #10.
There will be boys and girls middle school races followed by 6th and under boys and girls with the day ending with 4th and under boys and girls races. Admission is $5. The public is invited.
