"We had some positives to show that we are still making progress, but we still have a lot of work to be done within the next cou- ple of weeks," Pike Central head coach Josh Roach said. "Charlotte Dudenhoeffer, Jenna Meyer and Colt Arm- strong all set personal re- cords. That's a huge confi- dence boost for our fresh- men, to be improving like that at this time of the year." Pike Central will compete in the Pocket Athletic Con- ference Championship on Saturday, Sept. 30, at South- ridge, before taking part in the sectional meet at South Knox one week later on Sat- urday, Oct. 7. "We have our conference race coming up on Satur- day, and our conference is so tough, we really feel like it's a great test for sectional. We have a lot of kids with high goals, and wanting to make all-conference is on that list for a few." "We are going to have to step it up another notch in training to get there, but our kids have stepped up ev- ery time we have asked, so there is no reason to believe they won't put in the work," Roach added. "Hopefully, at this time next week, we can be talking about a few of those goals being met."

"It was a very competi- tive night and we saw a lot of positive things out of that competition," Pike Central head coach Josh Roach said. "Our kids were very willing to push when we asked them to push. We kind of singled out kids throughout the race that we needed to catch and pass to give them practice at find- ing what we needed to do to win as a team. When we asked, our kids delivered. It's a good thing knowing that, come sectional, we can figure out what we need to get our team where we need to go and the kids will be willing to do it." SOMETHING NEWSWORTHY?
