The 2015 Cross Country Conference week is in the books and we are headed to Districts. There were some great conference battles and some outstanding individual runs all over the State and throughout the divisions yesterday, including a new Ohio #1 girl's time and new #2 boys and girls times, as well as perfect scores, of 15, by the D3 St. Thomas Aquina's girls in the North Coast League Conference Championships White Div and the D1 Mason girls in the Greater Miami Conference CC Championships.

So. Morgan Gigandet of Troy ran a new Oh #1 girl's time of 17:26.59 in winning the Greater Western Ohio conference Championship, Jr. India Johnson of Hilliard Davidson ran a new OH #2, 17:31.25, in winning the Ohio Capital Conference Central Division Championship and Sr. Brad Davis of Dublin Jerome ran a new OH #2 in winning the Ohio Capital Conference Cardinal Division race with a 15:04.86.

On the team side, The Aquinas' girls were perfect in their conference championship.
