In a strange twist, the Jasper Wildcat boys have now been named the Cross Country Sectional 24 Champs. In an email statement from IHSAA Commissioner Brian Lewis, “There has been a correction to the final results as we had a male student-athlete who was ineligible and participated in the Sectional Meet.”
Prior to the IHSAA’s decision, South Knox had won the sectional competition. Jasper had initially finished in second place in the October 14th event.
The IHSAA will be sending medals to Jasper High School.
