Team ER member Beth Woodward took 1st overall female and 12th overall in the grueling summer edition of the Buckeye Trail 50k.

The Buckeye Trail run is run on sections of the trail in the Cuyahoga Valley and is a true test of endurance. Beth’s blistering pace of 4hrs 42 mins and 27 secs earner her the top female spot on the podium.

Future team member Luke Gorris, son of team members Mark and Lisa, made his triathlon debut this past weekend at the North canton YMCA youth triathlon. Following in his parents footsteps Luke put forth a solid performance in the 5-7 age group.

The race included a 25 yard swim, 1 mile bike and a 1 mile run that Luke powered through to the delight and disbelief of his family.

Looks like the Gorris’s are going to be on the podium for some time to come.

Way to go Luke.
