It’s the end of the season for Jonny as he ran in the Mid American Conference Cross Country Championships held at Miami University in Oxford, Oh. This time in Oxford was very different than when we were there earlier in the season. Earlier is so hot they ran early to try to avoid the 90 degree heat. This time it was windy wet and low 40’s. Parts of the course had standing water from the rain the had gotten leading up to race time. At least it didn’t rain during the race.
Jonny completed the 8K course in 27:11.7 and placed 74th out of 81 participants. The official results can be found here at TFRRS.
This completes Jonny’s career as a cross country runner as his coach is going to take the mid distance track runners out of competing in the fall in cross country in the upcoming years. We are going to miss watching and cheering him on in races in the fall. He has always been fun to watch run.
Here is the video I took of his final race.
