T he Wayne County Invitational cross country race started in 1990. The Generals had run up a streak of nine straight years with at least a boys or girls teams bringing home a championship. After Saturday's run in the wet conditions, that number is 10 in a row as Wooster's girls team edged Triway 49-50 to win the title. Our girls ran well in the conditions and I'm proud of them.
Most runners probably feel that way, though.
I used this as a tuneup for the Federal League Championship, but it is always great to win. Triway gave the Generals a run for their money, though, as the Titans also placed three runners in the top 10, but came up just shy. Falling by one point does hurt, though. Triway was led by Tina Beery, who, like the team, finished as the runner-up in the individual race behind Smithville's Kaley Workman. She started well and didn't look behind.
