For a second straight week, the Wittenberg men's and women's cross country teams competed in a large meet against dozens of teams from all divisions. Once again, the Tigers acquitted themselves quite well.
Leading the charge at the All-Ohio Championships at Ohio Wesleyan was senior Abi Gerstle (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont), who finished second among runners from the North Coast Athletic Conference and seventh overall among Division III runners. Freshman Tracy Butler (Ft. Wayne, Ind./Homestead) was next for the Tigers with a 37th place finish, followed by junior Becky Barnes (Williamsport, Ohio/Westfall), who wound up 67th.
On the men's side, senior Nick Dewald (Mansfield, Ohio/Senior) led the way as usual, this time turning in a 65th-place finish. Freshman Caleb Arnold (Enon, Ohio/Greenon) was 71st, freshman John Compton (Springfield, Ohio/Shawnee) was 79th and freshman Chris Petrik (Highland Heights, Ohio/Mayfield) finished 80th.
