Utilizing a mile of wooded, on-campus trails, the Kenston course is a challenging cross country course. Containing open fields, narrow woods, moderate hills and a variety of scenery, the course promises to be an enjoyable race with the opportunity to run good times. The course is spectator friendly including grass and asphalt spectating areas.
Frank Gibas became the Kenston boys coach in 1974 and started the girls program in 1976. His boys team had a winning season for 27 consecutive years and advanced to Regionals for 21 consecutive years. His teams qualified for the State Meet 11 times. Coach Gibas had three State Runner Up teams. In 1983, the “perfect season” saw the boys go undefeated in Invitationals.
