BURTON CROSS COUNTRY COMPETES AT THE CALDWELL MEET

Members of the Burton Panther and Lady Panther Cross Country Teams took part in the Caldwell Meet at Davidson Creek Park this past Saturday.

Due to injuries, the Panthers were short-handed and unable to place in the team competition.  However, they did have three runners that individually placed in the top ten.  Hunter Hancock finished third, Andre Ortiz finished eighth, and Trinity Pope finished 10th.

On the girls' side, the Lady Panthers finished second overall.  Individually, they placed two runners in the top ten. Peyton Sigsbee was second overall, while Avery Applewhite was 9th overall.

According to Coach Kurt Ramsey, three Lady Panthers dropped out of the race for several minutes to render first aid after a runner from another team passed out from exhaustion. They helped get her to a safety vehicle, and then re-entered the race.

The Burton Cross Country Teams return to action on Saturday, September 10, in Lexington.
