New course awaits local runners headed to state meet

Enquirer article here.
...This is a new course for the state meet after it had been run at Scioto Downs in Columbus for the past 25 years...

Wyoming [boys] placed second in Division II to qualify for its first state meet since 2002. It was the highest regional finish in school history for the Cowboys...

Wyoming found added inspiration in Emily Stites of the girls’ team to earn the No. 11 Cowboys their berth in DII. Stites won her regional race, beating Indian Hill’s Elizabeth Heinbach for the first time in cross country in the process.

“I’ve been telling the guys from the beginning of the season that there is something special about this team and we have the potential to do something great,” said senior Seth Gold. “(Stites’) race 100 percent inspired us. We knew she’s been gunning so hard to win that race. Winning races is a rare occurrence because there are so many good runners out there. Seeing her do that gave us extra motivation.”
