West Orange Invitational 2012

Although generally attributed to Horace Greeley, that irrepressible, mid-19th Century editor of the New York Tribune, the phrase “Go West, Ralph,” apparently has not, definitively, been proven as his. I can, however, clarify that the phrase was used at least once—on a far more recent occasion—during a cell-phone conversation (circa) October 19, 2012.

On one of Central Florida’s fastest, yet most diversified course—that of West Orange High School--some “old,” and some “new” runners notched that all-important final invitational victory before their respective conference meets.
