Regional Championship -- 10/31

Regional competition returns to the Troy River Course on Saturday with the DII girls race at 11:45 and boys at 2:15. The course is very spectator friendly from the levee as you can watch the early miles in the flood plain and finish near the stadium. The OHSAA is charging admission this year of $7 per person; however, we are unaware of the details about how and where this will be collected. Details, including a link to real time results on Saturday, are posted at: http://www.baumspage.com/cc/ccevent.php?peventid=333&table=C

In the boys race, senior Cullen O'Brien ran a 16:45, putting him in our top 10 and earning first-team all-CHL honors.
