Just realized that no one posted the good news!
Lakewood's Boys X-Country team, coached by Rick Ventura and assistant coach Mike Schreiner, captured the 2007 District Title at a breezy Edgewater Park course on Saturday. Leading the pack was the 2007 District Champion, LHS Senior Nick Meeson.
This Saturday the boys travel to Boardman to run in the Regional race, seeking one of four team spots that will send them to Columbus November 3rd!
Good luck, guys! Run SMART! Run FAST!!

the last I checked Lakewood XC was ranked 4th in the state for Division 1 schools.
with this win that rank will probably get better..

Well.....it's off to Scioto Downs in Columbus for the LHS Boys Cross Country Team next Sat. Nov. 3rd to compete with the best 16 Division One Cross Country teams in the state of Ohio in the 2007 OHSAA State Cross Country Meet!!
Today, the 7 Varsity Runners from LHS finished 2nd in the team competition at the 2007 OHSAA Regional Cross Country Meet held at Boardman High School.
The Ranger boys finished with 100 points in a very close team race. The overall team winner was North Canton Hoover with 91 points. Also advancing to next weeks OHSAA State Cross Country Meet from the Boardman Regional were the 3rd and 4th place teams from Louisville, with 131 points and Mentor with 134 points.
On a very challenging course, in cross country terms, the course can be described as, 'slow' due to the overall terrain and conditions, the LHS Harriers made LHS and the City of Lakewood proud with their awesome team effort.
Congratulations Nick Meeson, who finished 1st place overall with a time of 16:10.22....the REGIONAL CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPION!
