On Sept. 27 the Tally-hos went to Oxford Area High School to watch the UHS cross-country team run against the Kennett and Oxford squads, and we were delighted that the Unionville boys finished 1-2. (These two particular athletes are good friends and usually run together throughout the entire race. Do they arrange ahead of time which one is going to win? Do they alternate?)
It was a sweltering afternoon even for us spectators, more like early August than late September, and I was glad to see that the coaches made sure everyone was well hydrated. Even so, three athletes were overcome by the extreme heat and had to lie down in the shade after they crossed the finish line (tough competitors!). Two ambulances arrived and the paramedics checked them out.
