Jonny ran in his third collegiate cross country race and his second 8K race today at Cedarville University located in Cedarville, Ohio. This is the biggest collegiate race in the state of Ohio. All colleges and universities are invited from all divisions. Only 5 Universities in the state didn’t show up with their varsity team. Two of those teams sent their running clubs instead. Jonny was excited for this race, as we was going to be able to see all his friends from high school that went on to run cross country at the next level in the state of Ohio.
Stephanie came up from Cincinnati to watch him race and brought her puppy Braxton as well. After the race she came up to visit for the weekend.
Of the 38 Men’s varsity teams that attended Kent State came in 6th overall, placing 4th out of the 7 Division I schools. Jonny placed 114th overall out of 325 runners in the Men’s Varsity race with a time of 26:52.9, which averages out to a 5:24.5 average mile pace. In Division I he placed 44th out of 68 runners. Out of Division I runners at the varsity level Jonny placed 6th out of 17th runners. Overall out of freshmen runners in the Varsity race Jonny fisnished 15th out of 96 freshmen.
It was a fun race to watch as it reminded me of some of the big high school races Jonny used to run in.
