From Coach Ing -
I took this picture before they went out and beat the current school record of 58.2 with a 57.92…this group is super special to me! I’m absolutely loving what they’re doing this season, but as 3 7th graders and a 5th grader I can’t wait to see some of the times we run next season! 💪🏼💪🏼 Let’s take a second though, to look at this picture, Franklin County went to Hamilton County and straight up dominated! 3 schools that combine into one at the high school level, going 1st, 3rd and 4th, with Frankfort taking 2nd… 2 class L schools 2 class S schools. Mighty impressive day for Franklin county schools today in the girls 4x100. Congratulations to all!

Akin/Thompsonville Track-
From Coach Ing...
Boy or should I say Girrrrlllll have we started off 2026 with a stunning start, 2 meets in. 2 Records Smashed! Way to go girls! Hard work has earned you spot on the wall as the 38 year old 200m dash record has been broken by Ashlyn Thompson a 7th grader and 34 year old 1600m Relay is broken by 7th graders Ava Robinson and Ann Jackson, with 5th grade teammates Candace Carlton and Alivia Smith! 💪🏼💪🏼 I suspect this won’t be the last time or last record these girls break, as our 4x100 and 4x200 are just half a second off the records as well! This young fast group of ladies have a lot to look forward too!


Galatia/Thompsonville BassCats Brian Gibbs and Mace Ridgeway fished East Fork over the weekend with a weight of 10.7 lbs. for 2nd place out of 60 teams and Newton Lake with a weight of 14.13 lbs. for 12th place out of 79 teams. Great Job boys!
