Cincinnati, Ohio – Clark Montessori hosted its home cross country meet last night at Withrow, and the event was a resounding success. Parents, coaches, and athletes alike praised the organization and atmosphere, making it one of the best meets yet. Perfect running weather set the stage, and the competition did not disappoint, highlighted by a new course record set by an 8th grader from CHCA.

One of the unique strengths of this meet is its inclusivity, bringing together schools of all sizes—big, small, public, and private—that don’t always compete against one another. The result was a diverse and competitive field that showcased the true spirit of cross country.

Clark’s top performance came from Tori Harloff (Class of 2031), who placed sixth overall in a stacked middle school girls’ race featuring athletes from Walnut Hills, Milford, and other powerhouse programs.

Congratulations to Tori and to all of our Cougar runners! A huge thank-you goes out to the families, staff, and volunteers who made this event possible. It was truly a community effort—and a positive experience for all of the young people involved. That’s what Clark Montessori is all about.
