Council Rock Invitational @ Tyler State Park

Distance: 3.1

Is this the best sport, or what? On the same day in Tyler State Park, two Council Rock athletes excel. Jessica Cickay runs the nation's 4th fastest 5K of the season, while Mike Didio shows some incredible class. For some perspective on Cickay's time of 17:39, the defending District One Champion, Katie Ewart of Upper Dublin, was 58 seconds back in third place. Didio ran an US elite time of 15:40, getting second to Upper Moreland's Mark Mullelly, who went 15:31. But it was what Didio did during the heat of competition that makes his day the story of the race. As reported by PennTrackXC contributor John Bush, Mullelly was in the lead in a tight section in the woods as he approached a difficult area. He was about to take a wrong turn when he heard a yell from Didio from behind, sending him in the right direction. WAY TO GO DIDIO. Council Rock took both large school scored races. The George School and Hatboro-Horsham took the other two boys divisions, while Merion Mercy won the smaller school girls' division.
