“I thought the kids ran well today. It was a beautiful day. A lot of good finishes from our starting box. The kids came out and ran aggressively, which we wanted to do,” said Mifflin County boys coach Greg Loht. “We wanted to get out there a stretch our necks out a little bit and try to run with people better than us. I think that hurt us a little bit because we had to go out harder than we would’ve liked. There is a fine line there. I think the kids ran super today.”
