It had been a while since coach Randy Hisner’s team had run a race on their home course. After losing the sectional in an IHSAA revision of the postseason, the team’s lone home event was canceled last year due to excessive heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s weather nearly repeated last year’s cancellation, but the race was shortened to a 3200 M race instead of the typical 5K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayden Whittenbarger ran a faster time than any of his 3200 attempts this spring in the track season to finish second behind Bryan Garcia of New Haven, who won the race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hudson Krull was fifth for the Braves and was followed by a trio of Braves in 11th, 12th and 13th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams Central edged Heritage by just one point thanks to Ethan Crockett’s third-place finish within an arm’s length of Whittenbarger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
