Cedarville, OH — The top 7 runners of the boys and girls cross country teams ran in the district race on Saturday, October 23 in Cedarville. This race determined which teams will be moving on to regionals in Troy on Saturday, Oct. 30.

Both the boys and the girls secured a spot in the regional meet. “This is the fifth year in a row that the girls team has qualified to the regional meet.  This marks the second time in three years the boys have qualified.  The boys had five personal best times.  The girls had five personal best or season best times,” Coach Stiver said. Both the boys and the girls placed 6th overall in their races. Kiefer Bell (1st place), Logan Murray (9th place), Hannah Lippincott (7th place), and Lucia Rodbro (18th place) placed high enough to have qualified individually.
