The course at Ottawa Park was a familiar one; the team had run there before at the O-G Blue/Gold Invite earlier in the season. The course, while fairly flat, has many tight turns, which makes it one of the more difficult to run. Nevertheless, the weather was flawless and Bluffton was prepared for battle.
The Bluffton High School girls' cross country team placed second to qualify for regionals. Senior Matthew Herron also placed second individually and will represent Bluffton boys Saturday in Tiffin.
Saturday, Oct. 16, marked an important day for the Bluffton cross country teams. It was the Northwest Conference Championship race: the last and most important regular-season meet.
Two Pirates earned All-Conference honors for Bluffton: Matthew Herron and Hannah Chappell-Dick, each placing 2nd overall.
The Pirate Cross Country team travelled Saturday to Fostoria: their 4th meet in 10 days. Though some had tired legs, the Bluffton athletes continued to turn up the heat.
The Fostoria course is known best for its hill, known to many as "the wall." A deceivingly flat start to the race takes runners around baseball diamonds and classic Ohio cornfields.
