Now out of high school, Kevin Gideon competes in NCAA Division II for Cedarville
University out in Ohio. His opening race was at Indian Riffle Park in Kettling,
Ohio where he ran a 5K in 16:47 placing 48th. This past weekend he
ran at his home Invitational, the Cedarville Friendship Cross Country
Invitational where he debuted his 8K racing career with a time of 28:11,
placing 44th overall and 12th on his new team. As Gideon gets
used to the longer distance, we will probably see him drop his 8K time, however, a
28:11 first 8K is a solid opener that is nothing to be understated. The next race that the Cedarville team takes on is the All-Ohio Championship in Cedarville on Friday September 30th.
