"Coach (Raymond) Friend and I put this meet on our schedule as an early season test with a young team to see how we measure up to potential regional opponents," FHS assistant coach Bill Mangus said. "We understand each and every runner and coach needs to improve over the next seven weeks in order to be successful at our regional race and advance to state."

The winning team was Mt. Gilead, followed by Fairfield Christian, Newark Catholic and Grandview Heights.
