THE EAGLE RUN 2014

North Central Cross Country Hosts 1st Annual 5k Event

By: Mark Mercer
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
PIONEER, June 28, 2014- The North Central Cross
Country Team, along with head Coach Brady Ruffer
and Jr. High Head Coach Jared Stewart, organized and
conducted their first annual 5K, 1 Mile Fun Run, and 2
Mile Fun Walk on June 28. On a slightly overcast and
warm morning, participants assembled at the Pioneer
Community Center, and with a shower of silly string at
8 a.m., the run was underway.
According to Coach Ruffer, the members of the Eagles
Cross Country Team got together and coordinated the
event, gathering sponsors and publicizing the event.
We wanted to establish the 5 K Run and incorporate
other events that all members of the community could
participate in, and from the looks of the turnout this
morning, the kids did a terrific job.

run, 2 year old Jaelyn Houk broke out hard from the
starting line and completed the run in great shape!
Also competing, North Centrals Cassidy Faler made a
hard push for the finish line, but was not quite satisfied
with her performance. When asked how she felt after
the run, Cassidy replied Im pretty disappointed I got
beat by a boy!
In the 5 K event, North Central Sophomore Trent
Sakos blasted across the finish line well ahead of the
nearest runner to claim the inaugural overall title. With
the number of age categories recognized, all runners
received some recognition for their support and effort.
Proceeds from The Eagle Run will go to the Cross
Country Team to support runners attending summer
camps and other team events. The Village Reporter will
have additional information in our upcoming editions
on more events hosted by North Central Athletics.
