Classical Classic: We Have Interviews & Tons Of Photos!!!

RESULTS

It was a great day at the Classical Classic!

The rain held off for Saturday’s meet, at least the predicted heavy stuff. The added bonus is the performance also proved to be top notch for the first state qualifier of the season.

Oh, yes, the State Meet should be another special one in a little more than a month.

Ocean State Running was on site for the six-plus hour meet. We thought it would be longer, so that’s another bonus. Check it out, we have more than 1,600 photos from the meet. Below is just a sampling.. We also had a chance to talk with some of our winners (and more). Hear what they had to say from this weekend’s competition, which was sponsored by HOKA and Marathon Sports.
