The women did not participate in team competition at the All-Ohio Championships two weeks ago, but placed four runners in the top-20.
The men have earned second, fifth and ninth place finishes this season, most recently earning the latter at the All-Ohio Championships two weeks ago. Senior Jason Salyer ran unattached in the open portion of the race, securing a first-place finish in the 8K run.
