REGION V JUNIOR OLYMPIC RESULTS
Coonskin Park - Charleston, WV - Saturday, Nov 19th, 2005

    I want to commend everyone for taking on what will most likely be the toughest cross country course you'll ever run.   Cruel is, I believe, an apt description for the hills - or mountainous conditions - everyone encountered.  The excellent efforts you put forth not only qualified many of you for the Junior Olympic Nationals in Providence Rhode Island on Saturday, December 10th, but will boost your confidence in your own abilities when you face tuff competition and conditions in the future.

    Four Miami Valley Teams qualified for Nationals along with 12 individuals.  Individuals qualified by finishing in the top 20 in their race.   Teams qualified by finishing in the top 3 teams in their race.   The Miami Valley TC finished first outright in two divisions - Intermediate Boys and Young Men - and lost on the tie breaker in the Youth Boys Division.    In the Youth Girls division, the biggest race of the day, the All Star runners from the greater Dayton-Springfield area finished 3rd to a pair of teams from Michigan.  It should be noted that the Michigan squad is the feeder program to the perennial  HS power in Michigan.
