Jonny and Ryan in the woods at the Licking County League Championship
The course was dry and fast, which in previous years has been very muddy and the kids have come out of the woods very muddy, some from head to toe as they trip over some of the exposed roots in the woods and fall into the mud. In the past there have even been instances of kids loosing their shoes in some of the bigger mud holes.
Here is some video that I took of the race.
The official results can be found on the Watkins Track website was well as the Granville Aces Running Database.
