Mitchell, Martin Pace Wildcats at Live in Lou Classic
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky – Jonah Mitchell and DeAnna Martin paced the Kentucky cross country efforts Saturday morning in the Live in Lou Classic.
Held at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer Park, Mitchell placed 85th out of 308 contestants in the men’s 8,000-meter race with a time of 24:41.7. Martin finished No. 101 among 378 racers in the 5K women’s race, clocking in at 18:05.2.
After a pair of intense, grueling races the previous two weeks, Kentucky used the event to gain more experience for those who have not seen a great deal of competition this season. Martin was followed on the scoreboard by Bryanna Lucas (18:32.7), Phoebe McCowan (18:38.8), Natalie Molotky (18:49.8) and Eliza Scoggin (19:10.4). UK finished 31st out of 41 teams in the women’s event.
Kentucky did not send a full men’s team but had three compete as individuals. Following Mitchell were Cade Byer (25:12) and Blake Byer (25:41.7).
