MVHS Nature Trail 5-Kilometer Run/Walk
The first annual MVHS Nature Trail 5-Kilometer Run/Walk Fundraiser was a success, said veteran Panther coach George Gould, with O’Donnell finishing first among 18 participants.
“Donations were received from several non-runners,” Gould said, adding, “Several Medomak Valley runners used the event for an off-day training session.”
MVHS runners had competed at Lincoln Academy in Newcastle the previous day in a regular-season meet. Saturday’s event benefited the Panther cross-country program.
The results for the runners were:
1, Pat O’Donnell, 17, 20:02;
2, Andrew Allen, 15, 21:42;
3, Tim Burch, 57, 22:20;
4, Mike Gilman, 17, 22:31;
5, Brendon O’Donnell, 16, 22:39;
6, Vinny Vannah, 14, 22:50;
7, Quinton Vannah, 17, 22:52;
8, Ellen Spring, 56, 28:28;
9, Lucas Oldroyd, 12, 30:04;
10, Shannon Staples, 13, 30:41;
11, Bailey Black, 14, 30:42;
12, Kellon Thames, 53, 31:42;
13, Michael Canfield, 13, 34:38;
14, Adam Wilcox, 11, 41:47.
Two sets of brothers, the O’Donnells, and Vannahs, competed in the event. They all run cross country for MVHS.
The results for the walkers were:
1, Ian Rixson, 16, 45:41;
2, Denise Gould, 58, 47:56;
3, Christpher Moiles, 52, 52:57;
4, Holly Moiles, 52, 53:08
