It was very hot day and so was the early season racing.
Grace Kllroy, Centerville
In the Girls Section A race (D1), Centerville Sr Laney Studebaker, the defending D1 State Champion sat this one out and her freshman teammate Grace Kilroy (18:26.00) won her first varsity race defeating a field that included some of the top returners in the State, including preseason ranked #1 Maegan Murphy of Mason (6th, 19:15.10), #4 ranked Carly Davis of Dublin Jerome (4th, 18:36.70) and #5 ranked Ann Heuerman of Upper Arlington (3rd, 18:34.80). Centerville won the team title. The question now is "Just how good can Centerville be with Studebaker running?"
