Pennington runs steady for Gremlins
KARNS CITY — Rebecca Pennington wasn't born to run.
She just loves doing it — a lot.
The Karns City senior cross country standout has not lost a regular-season Keystone-Shortway Athletic Conference race since her sophomore year. That streak stands at 13 entering this week.
Pennington will also carry a 31-meet distance event KSAC win streak in track and field into next spring.
“She's like a machine out there,” KC cross country coach Colin Gaiser said. “Rebecca doesn't really have a finishing kick. She runs at the same pace all the time.
“But it's a fast pace. Not many boys (in the KSAC) have beaten her the past couple of years.”
Only 10 boys in the conference beat Pennington all of last season. Nine boys have done so this year.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
