We currently have 3 Akron students that participate in Cross Country for Merino. Addison Weis and Brya Kusel run for the high school team and Trigg Weis runs for their middle school. Instead of traveling to Merino for practice everyday, they are able to complete their workouts in Akron. Most high school meets consist of a 5k, while the middle schoolers run 2 miles.
