Cross country: Field loaded at OK Runner Classic
The OK Runner Classic held today in Norman will feature 32 teams and several of the state’s top runners. The meet, which is hosted by Norman High School, begins at 4 p.m. at the course located off of 24th Avenue behind Irving Middle School.
The competition will be divided up with Classes 2A, 3A and 4A in one group and 5A and 6A in the other.
“We’re hosting a regional here (in October), so everyone wants to come run the course before then,” said Norman girls cross country coach Suzi Rojas. “It’s going to be a great meet, so many runners.”
Two of the state’s best girl runners will be competing — Piedmont’s Jori Davis and Norman’s Megan Johnson — unfortunately, though, they’ll be in different divisions and won’t go head-to-head. It will make for an interesting time comparison, though.
Westmoore’s Toby Bothwell, Edmond Memorial’s Eric Talbert and Edmond North’s Adam Godwin are some of the runners highlighting the boys field.
