North Union’s Felix Plouck finished 10th last Saturday at the Buckeye Valley Baron Blast boys cross country meet.

Plouck’s time was 18 minutes, 8.69 seconds.

Other Wildcat runners were Mack Marlette (54th, 20:48.96), Max Leavitt (57th, 21:21.20), Colton Smith (70th, 22:10.94), Drew Chadwell (87th, 23:09.20), Traven Reber (90th, 23:29.70), Bradley Cline (96th, 24:46.70) and Wyatt Roby (100th, 25:51.95).
