The Waynesville Lady Spartans Junior High Cross Country team had an outstanding day at the biggest meet in the State of Ohio, the OHSAA Middle School State Championship Meet, capturing the State Runner-Up Trophy!

Our Waynesville Lady Spartans Junior High Cross Country Team was lead by 8th grade superstar Kendal Erbach who captured the silver medal coming in 2nd place overall!  The speedy dynamic duo of Zedie Click and Evelyn Malcolm came in next for the Lady Spartans, running outstanding times and coming in 24thand 26th place respectively!  Superstar Kendra Ball was up next for the Lady Spartans, running a fantastic race and coming in 45th place overall! Rounding out the State Runner-Up Team for the Lady Spartans was Geneva Pickrel, Maria Syvertsen, and Mya Wenzler who also ran an outstanding final race of the season!

On the Boy’s side we were pleased to have Sam Papanek run a fast 12:09 time and placed in the top tier of finishers. We hope to build around him to reload on our great Boy’s tradition.

We are so happy to offer cross country to our students.  Cross Country is a great life sport and provides such a good base of conditioning for all sports.

Our motto is: “Come Run with Us and Train to be Elite."  If you have a son or daughter that wold be interested in joining our team, we would love to have them run with us next year.  Please reach out to me with any questions you may have.  Coach Jenae James jjames@wayne-local.com
