BOYS RECAP: Lexington
Catholic junior Thomas Canary finished third to lead the Knights to
a third-place team finish Saturday in the Class 2A state cross
country championship at the Kentucky Horse Park. Canary, who won the Class 2A Region
4 Championship last week in Wilmore, Ky., ran Saturday’s 5,000-meter course
in a personal best time of 16 minutes, four seconds. Five other Lexington Catholic runners also
ran personal best times Saturday at the State meet: junior Logan Horrall
(17:23), senior team captain Joe Fernandez (17:45), senior Bobby
Martin (17:52), senior Kevin Melody (18:10), and senior Chris
Haffler (18:47). Senior Lee Richardson (19:28) missed setting his
personal best time by five seconds. The
Knights third-place team finish Saturday was LC’s best team-finish at the
State meet since 1999, when the Knights finished runners-up. The 2007 team,
however, equaled the 1999 squad’s average team time of 17:27. The Knights,
who finished fourth as a team in the 2006 State meet, scored 154 points
Saturday, only 29 points behind meet runners-up Pendleton County, and 89
points behind meet champion Owensboro Catholic, which won the Class 2A State
title for the third-straight year. The
Knights also won the Class 2A Region 4 Championships last week at Asbury
College. The Knights won the Region 4 Meet in 2005 and 2004, and were
runners-up in 2006, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Boys

results. Coach
Wiesehahn says that the regionals “ . . .were perhaps the most exciting I’ve
seen as coach of Lexington Catholic cross country. (I’ve been the full-time
coach since 2001.) It was a privilege and a thrill (and I am not talking
about the water dousing I got) to be a part of. I was very proud and I didn’t
want the day to end.” Read
Mark Maloney’ article this morning in the Lexington Herald-Leader at http://www.kentucky.com/312/story/221111.html He
also states “Did you know that since 2001, LC’s boys cross country team has
either won (2007, 2005, 2004) or finished runners-up (2006, 2003, 2002, 2001)
in class 2A Region 4? An outstanding accomplishment if you consider how many
varsity runners graduate each year. That said, did you also know that since
2001, three individuals: Thomas Canary (2007), Megan Deaton (2005) and Lauren
Arnold (2002, 2001) have won the Region Championship?” STATE: Saturday’s
KHSAA State Cross Country Championship Meet, is held at the camp grounds of
the Kentucky Horse Park. Lexington Catholic’ regional runner-up team Girls

(class 2A) runs at 12:15 PM. LC seniors running in their
final race Saturday are: Sophie Yurkoski, Linsey Ward, Joe Fernandez,
Chris Haffler, Kevin Medley, Lee Richardson and Bobby Martin. Woodford
County Invitational: Both
Buses leave Lexington Catholic at 10:30AM Saturday. Please know that

Coach O’Neal, me and the tent need to get other rides home from the meet. Woodford

LEXINGTON
CATHOLIC INVITATIONAL Saturday’s
meet, which got big help from Linda Hay in awards, had eight races and
1,298 runners, including LC junior Thomas Canary, who finished
third Saturday in the boys’ small-school varsity race. Canary’s time of 16 minutes, 33 seconds
for 5K (3.1 miles) was the fastest time posted by any Lexington Catholic
runner since I became head coach in 2000, (Mark Noll ran 16:50 at State in
2002) and maybe the fastest since my teammate Jeff Moll won the
Class A State title in 1985.)
Nevertheless, Canary finished behind only Gordy Dooley of St. Henry,
the defending meet and Class A State Meet Champion, and Willie Polio of
Owensboro Catholic, State 2A runner-up. In short, he’s fast. Canary’s
LC team finished sixth in the 21-team field and were second among
class 2A schools at the meet. Except for Owensboro Catholic, LC’s team
of Canary, Logan Horrall, Joe Fernandez, Bobby Martin, Kevin Melody, Chris
Haffler and Lee Richardson beat every team Saturday they will face at the
State meet on Nov. 10. Watch out Batman, the 2007 boys are coming for
your 1999 State Runners-up title. LC’s
girls varsity team finished 12th among 24 teams Saturday in the
girls’ small-school varsity race. LC
