The Shelbyville cross country team competed in the Class 1A-3A varsity division of the Grapeland Invitational on Wednesday and placed third overall, according to the SHS coach.
Ali Baty led the Lady Dragon runners, placing fourth overall, with a time of 13:00, while Catashia Walker ran a 13:09 and Adaisha Cartwright posted a time of 13:26. Each of these Shelbyville runners received a medal.
Rounding out the top five Lady Dragon runners included Camory Bolton with a time of 13:37 and Ashlee Sellman posted a 14:49.
"I was proud of the girls and the way they competed against not only Class 1A runners, but 2A and 3A as well," said Shelbyville head cross country coach Stephany Carter. "The runners did very well against some tough competition."
The Lady Dragons will be in Lufkin on Saturday to compete in the Coke Classic Invitational. A number of local squads will join SHS in Lufkin for the meet. Others include Garrison, Center and Carthage.
