Jonny ran at the Centerville Saturday Night Lights for the 2nd year in a row. This was one of his favorite races last year and didn’t disappoint again this year. The team makes the 2 hour trip to Centerville, Ohio which is between Dayton and Cincinnati and they run in the championship races for varsity runner with all the big competitive schools including schools from Kentucky. After the races the team spends the night near Centerville in a hotel and then they have their Sunday practice running in a park over there. The entire event is fun and different and the atmosphere is very much like a carnival and I think that is the main reason they enjoy it so much.

Jonny ran in the Championship race and got off to a good start. At the 1 mile mark he was 4:59.6 and in 11th place. At the 2 mile mark he was 10:19.7 and in 10th place. He passed a person in the last 300 meters to secure 8th place overall out of 198 runners with a new personal record of 16:01.9. He officially has the fastest Granville time at that meet now.
I took some video of that race and here it is:
