"The wall" is a 100-meter hill that Bluffton runners agreed was "steeper than the AT&T tower, for sure." Surviving the hill is important, however, as the rest of the race is downhill, long, and surrounded by cheering spectators.Īll 15 girls raced at Fostoria, giving Bluffton a depth that many teams don't have. The forest soon spits runners out and one hair-pin turn later, they find themselves attempting to scale what at the time feels like a mountain. The runners are then, for a short time, taken into a forest trail with a beautiful canopy tree top: a wonderful, much needed break from the sun and unseasonably high temperatures, but don't be fooled. The Fostoria course is known best for its hill, known to many as "the wall." A deceivingly flat start to the race takes runners around baseball diamonds and classic Ohio cornfields.
Though some had tired legs, the Bluffton athletes continued to turn up the heat. The Pirate Cross Country team travelled Saturday to Fostoria: their 4th meet in 10 days.
