CROSS COUNTRY SEASON IN REVIEW
The Fulton County Cross Country Teams closed out their 4th season with strong performances in the River County Championships and Region 1 Class A Championships. A team high of 10 runners participated this year including 7 Boys & 3 Girls. The season was highlighted by Three School Records, Three "All-River Counties" runners, and the school's first KY Class A State Meet Qualifer. Fulton County also hosted a successful Advantage Quad-Series for the third season in a row.
The 2008 Pilot Cross Country Team saw marked improvements in times over the course of the season. Each runner set new personal records and the group developed as a team in every competition. Individually for the boys, Chris Foederer had the most success this season including a first in his age division in the River Rat Race, placing at the Fenton-Dawson Rotary Invitational at Trigg County, making the "All River Counties" Team, medaling in the Advantage Quad-Series, and becoming the first runner in school history to advance to the State Meet. Chris also set a new school record with a 19:09 for a 5K. Other boys who earned awards were Matthew Whitt and Steven Fulcher who placed 1st & 2nd respectively in their age groups at the Railroader Heritage Days 5K. For the Middle School, Ladarrian Polk was a medalist in the Marshall County Invitational setting a school record for the 4K in 21:09. Clay Goodman, Kalob Williams, and Mitchell Mulcahy filled out the boys team and made considerable progress throughout the season.
