CONGRATS ROSS AND THE REST OF THE BOMBERS!

Also, this from Aunt Dodie: O, ROSS HENRY IS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NEWS HERALD SPORTS SECTION!!!!!!!!!!!   The very first sentence in the article is announcing the fact that Kenston won the CVC by beating Orange 139-131….

“Kenston Freshman Ross Henry may have just competed in his first CVC Chagrin Division meet, but he didn’t need any pointers as far as the value of defending your home track.”   Then the article quotes him  “You don’t want any other team coming out here and beating you on your track,” Henry said.  “It’s the track you train on, the track you sweat on, the track you bleed on. You’ve got to be. You want it. You want to own this track.”   Ross placed lst in the 3,200.

Way to go Ross, good job and great quote!!!!!!  I will send you the article.  Aunt Dodie
