By Ed Cahill Press-Dispatch Sports Editor sports@pressdispatch.net The Pike Central High School girls' golf team opened its season with a 229 - 249 victory over visiting Tecumseh on Monday, July 30, at the Prides Creek Golf Course. Senior Natalie Bohnert shot a nine- hole score of 46 to pace the Lady Char- gers while freshman Carissa Moudy had a 57. Junior Hadley Holder fired a 60 and freshman Sydney Loveless rounded out the top four with a 66. Junior Madison Warner and fresh- man Nevi Lemond both fired a 67 while junior Emma Rainey shot a 70. "The girls were really nervous and I think we will improve a lot off those scores," Pike Central head coach Jar- rod Gideon said. "We have a lot of new faces and a lot to learn. It will be fun to see how we progress." The Lady Chargers will return to ac- tion on Monday, Aug. 6, when they will take on Heritage Hills at the Christmas Lake Golf Course in Santa Claus.

The event will once again include a half marathon, a 5K, and a team challenge. Cash prizes will be given to the top three male and fe- male half marathon finish- ers. First place will receive $500, second place $250, and third place $100. The races will begin 7:30 a.m., Eastern time, in the shadow of the Jasper Train Depot along the Patoka River and will finish in the shade at Dave Buehler Pla- za, just a stone's throw away from the starting line. The hilly, scenic course takes runners through com- mercial and residential ar- eas with challenging peaks midway through the route. A fter the midway point, the course largely flattens out through to the finish. The 5K starts and ends in the same location as the half marathon, but splits to take a different course very close to the start of the race. The team challenge is a relay comprised of a four-person team and fol- lows the same course as the half marathon. The first team member will travel 3.8 miles, then pass along his/ her timing chip to the sec- ond member. The second member will cover 4.05 miles, the third member 2.5 miles, and the final member 2.75 miles. The registration fee for the half marathon is $ 60 if registered before August 13, when the fee will in- crease to $70. The registra- tion fee for the 5K is $25. The registration fee for the team challenge is $25 per person/$100 per team. Pre-registrants will re- ceive a technical shirt, and the first 500 half marathon registrants will receive a special gift. A free training group will meet every Sunday at 7 a.m. Eastern time, at Downtown Running and Fitness locat- ed at 331 Mill Street. This training group is open to the public and participants are free to run/walk at their own pace.
