Today is the annual partner relay for cross country. It’s a fun event that helps kick off the cross country season. The kids are teamed up with a partner and they run a 1 mile course through infirmary mound park in Granville. They tag their partner’s hand and their partner runs the 1 mile course. They each do this three times, so each person runs 3 miles in the 6 mile race.
After the race the coaches talk about the upcoming season and then there is a cookout with burgers and hotdogs provided by the VanNess family from their farm and the rest of the parents brings side dishes and deserts. It’s also an opportunity for the parents to meet each other.
