Lady Royals are Area 7 Champions, Royals take fourth-place

The Mason County Lady Royals track and field team is 5-for-5 this season after winning the Area 7 Championship in rainy and cool weather on Saturday at Ashland.

"Situations like today require more mental toughness than physical skill," Coach Mark Kachler wrote in an email message. "We faced that obstacle today and we were successful."

The Lady Royals had a dominating performance with 182 points. Runner-up Russell had 90 points and Ashland took third-place with 70.

In the boys' meet, the shorthanded Mason County Royals finished in fourth-place with 93 points. 

"They were missing some key elements today either for the entire meet or portions of it and still were only 10 points off first place," Kachler wrote in the email message."

The Boyd County Lions won with 103 points. Russell was the runner-up with 103.5 points and Montgomery County was third with 98.5.

Eighth-grader Lexi Young won the "High Point" award for the girls with first-place finishes in the long jump (16-08.00), the high jump (4-10.00), the 200 meter dash (27.34) and the 4x100 meter relay.
