Octavia Rinehardt was running so smooth and effortlessly Thursday afternoon that it looked like she was taking a stroll through the park.
Rinehardt, a Tallwood senior, was running in Bells Mill Park, but she was far from strolling.
No, she was dominating as she breezed around the course in a personal-best time of 18 minutes, 18.10 seconds to win her first Eastern Region cross country title.
“I just wanted to run my race and go for a good time more than anything,” said Rinehardt, who won by 25 seconds.
