Centerville Stampede 2012

The 9th Annual Centerville Stampede is set to take off on Saturday, September 22nd.   The event changed dates this year and will permanently keep this corresponding date in the future.   The event is held at Watts Middle School, Grant Park, and Liberty Retirement Community .   The schedule also changed slightly this year with the high schools starting the day off at 9:30 AM  followed by the Middle Schools in the afternoon.   A complete flyer of information can be found at www.centervillegirlsxc.com.

The Centerville Stampede is shaping up to be a great meet yet again, especially on the girls side.   Three of the OATCCC Preseason Top 5 girls teams will be in this talented field.  Springboro (tied for 2nd) , Beavercreek (1st), and Centerville (5th) lead the girls field as well as Michigan's defending big school champ, Grosse Point South High School which returns all of thier runners from their State Championship team.     Grosse Point South had 4 girls sub 18:45 at their state meet last year.   And their #1 girl Hannah Meier went 17:24 last fall and was sub 4:45 in the mile this spring qualifying to run in Barcelona this past summer representing the US on the Junior World team.   In addition, Oakwood's standout freshman, Mary Kate Vaughn is planning on attending as well.  She went 5:03 as an 8th grader this past spring.   It should shape up to be a great meet.
