Lely Invite: Arroyo Over Miranda In Surprise Matchup, Candiano Pulls Away For Repeat

Not known for fast times the Lely HS home course is a twisting, turning, multiple surface affair, which slowly wears down harriers as it loops around the campus. This year, as in other years, most of the teams are going into championship season and rest some if not all varsity at this race but this year it got some special guests.

39th Mount Dora Bible Invitational

On-Site Coverage

Mt. Dora Bible Invitational Recap

I did almost all of my long summer runs here and the Mount Dora Bible course has to be one of the hardest in the state. It's hills are grueling and seem to be placed in the worst places. Knowing you have to do two loops of it for it to be a full 5K, is almost as mentally exhausting as it is physically. Thankfully, Saturday at the 39th Mount Dora Bible Invitational the weather was absolutely beautiful with the temperature at a comfortable 75 degrees for both the girls and boy's varsity as well as JV races.
