Ryan Bacon
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — This week’s Big Cheese Athlete of the Week is Ryan Bacon, a junior for the Wellington High School Cross Country team.
In 2020 as a sophomore, Bacon ran the two-mile junior varsity race at the Wellington Cross Country Invitational at Hargis Creek in 14:39.o8. This Saturday he ran the same race in 12:20.68 shaving more than two minutes off his time. He also won the race by a lot.
Wellington did not have any runners in the varsity race but he and several others expect to run the 5K in Chaparral this Thursday.
For his efforts, Bacon is the recipient of a large delicious Big Cheese Pizza at 324 N. Washington.
