Jonny ran at the Granville Invitational today held at the Byn Du Mansion here in Granville. It’s the first meet of the year for Granville and the only meet that Granville hosts. The conditions today were not ideal for the runners and it was hot and humid with the temps at the start of the race 78 degrees and quickly rising and the humidity at 86%. Jonny’s race started at 10:00 and was the last of the high school races.
He had a good start and kept himself in the front third for the first kilometer. He then broke out with the front runners around the 3K mark. When we saw the group again after running around the mansion and big hill on the back side the front group separated, and Jonny was still in the top 10. He ended up finishing 9th overall out of 113 varsity runners with a time of 16:40, which beat last years time of 16:52.
