Ada CC meet cancelled By Cort Reynolds
ADA - Ada was scheduled to run in the Galion Cross Country Festival Saturday, but the meet was cancelled.
With over 100 teams slated to compete, the event was deemed too risky to hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
To facilitate team bonding as well as for fun and motivation, Ada head coach Josh Klein had his team perform a fun run along the water at Indian Lake on Saturday in place of the Galion meet.
He reported that some parents of runners also participated in the run. "They had a blast," said Klein.
