OBETZ HOSTS STATE
OBETZ - The OHSAA state cross country meet will be held Saturday, Nov. 7, at Fortress Obetz, which is hosting the meet for the seventh year.
State champions will be crowned in four divisions at the 98th annual boys and 49th annual girls meets.
The OHSAA 7th and 8th grade state cross country meet will be held Sunday, Oct. 25.
"We are excited to return to Fortress Obetz for our championships this fall," said BJ Duckworth, the OHSAA's cross country sport administrator. "The Fortress team does a fantastic job supporting our tournament manager, Dugan Hill, in giving our student athletes the best experience possible. The course is challenging, forcing the athletes to race strategically, and with both mile split points in the stadium as well as views of the entire course from the top of the stands, making it a great place for cross country."
The contract with Fortress Obetz runs through 2027.
