What an atmosphere at the 2008 Tiffin Carnival yesterday. The tents, the people, the coaches, and of course the runners. The experience of running in this race is a great preparation for what it will be like at the state meet, but with a lot more runners.

In the girls varsity race there was 270 runners from 40 teams. In the guys varsity race there was 352 runners from 50 teams.

In the girls varsity race the Irish ladies brought that pack to the front and finished in 3rd place. The top 5 runners were only separated by 30 seconds. They were led this week again by Emily Tomei who finished with a PR of 19:48.

In the guys varsity race the Irish lads were led by Tyler Tomazic who finished 15th overall with a PR of 16:24. The guys team finished 9th overall which was very respectable given the fact that many of the top teams in the state were present.
