Council Rock achieves brilliance and sportsmanship
in equal measure at Tyler State Park, as reported by PennTrackXC:
"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 a DyeStat Leader List 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.
