The Roughneck and Ladyneck runners enjoyed cooler temperatures this morning as they competed at The Buckeye Invitational in Gilmer. This was a fairly flat and fast course over primarily grassy terrain. The JH runners kicked off the morning with races led by Jackson Frazier, 34th and Morgan Benge, 18th. In Varsity Boys race Dylan Harris placed 2nd, 16:27, in a field of 166 runners, Zach Herring was 34th and Logan Sells was 67th. Herring and Sells both lowered their times for the season. Shaynee Tyl led the ladies with a 3rd place finish in 13:01 in a race that saw 142 competitors. The girls placed 3rd as time with a team score of 105 points. In the JV Girls race Riley Edmondson collected some hardware placing 19th out of 76 runners.
