VERSAILLES — The Crestview Lady Knights began their season Saturday at the Versailles Lady Tiger Classique, and the team finished eighth out of nine teams in the Orange Division.

Other placers: 4×800-meter relay team (Abigail Bagley, Lauryn Black, Emma Leary, Ragen Harting), fourth place in 11:59.09.

4×200-meter relay (Tommi Andersen, Tiffany Thompson, Madalyn Ward, Chelsea Taylor) eighth place in 2:15.91.

1600-meter run Harting, seventh place in 6:06.76.
