“The kids took full advantage of the fast course and perfect weather conditions,” said Lincolnview Coach Matt Langdon. “Every single Lancer ran a season best today, and many ran career bests.  It was a fun day and a great way to begin this next phase of our season.

“We still have some work to do, but I really like the attitude and approach that the kids are taking,” Coach Langdon added. “And because of their hard work, they were able to enjoy the results today.  We are looking forward to running close to home this coming weekend at the Van Wert Invitational.”
