Children of the Corn – Dramatic Run Through a Cornfield for Calhoun County Cross Country

Calhoun County, AL – Oxford’s Keur, George lead their respective fields in the inaugural Munford Invitational, a race with a dramatic run through a cornfield

Katie Keur and Maddyn Conn flipped the script from a week ago and Oxford’s Noah George was the fastest boys runner for the second week in a row to lead the finishers in the Munford Invitational. The new course, designed by former White Plains coach John Moore, features a stretch that takes the runners through a nearby cornfield. White Plains’ Conn and Oxford’s Keur finished 1-2 in last week’s Waffle House/Yellow Jacket Invitational at Choccolocco Park, but Keur posted another PR (19:30.47) and edged her running buddy by more than 30 seconds for the win.

George made it two in a row when came in first in the boys race at 16:21.15, more than 20 seconds ahead of Southside’s Evan Christopher. Munford’s Dakota Frank finished third overall and won the 1A-4A breakout. Southside swept the 5A-7A team titles. Glencoe won the 1A-4A girls title and LAMP won the 1A-4A boys crown. With this being the first race on the course, both overall winning times are course records.
