The Northern Lakes League (NLL) will be competing in their championship meet this Saturday at Walsh Park in Fremont, Ohio. A notoriously difficult course, some of the best teams and runners in the state will take to the starting line in their bid for glory.
The NLL is split into two the divisions the Buckeye (Anthony Wayne, Findlay, Northview, Perrysburg, Southview and Whitmer) and the Cardinal (Bowling Green, Fremont Ross, Holland Springfield, Liberty-Benton, Napoleon and Oregon Clay). All schools run together but results are kept separate.
The three fastest girls in the state of Ohio will be on the course in Gwen Huddle of Napoleon, Julia Bocik of Southview and Lexi Schultz of Perrysburg. The race also features the #14 runner in the state in Lily Kiser of Fremont Ross. Team-wise, Fremont Ross is the #9 squad in the state regardless of division and Perrysburg is #16. Southview is #10 in DII.
The boys side features the #12 runner in the state in Steven Owen of Southview and the #34 and #38 runners in Bentley Lopez of Fremont Ross and Russell Stine IV of Findlay. Bowling Green is the #9 team in DII.
