Hainer, Herron and Leamer will be joined by Karen Barrientos on the College’s distance medley relay team. The distance medley covers 4,000 meters, or approximately 2.5 miles.

Barrientos, an All-American cross country runner in 2014, will run the 1,200-meter leg of the relay. She’ll be followed by Leamer (400 meters), Herron (800 meters) and Hainer (1,600 meters).

Tri-C’s national qualifiers all list hometowns in Northeast Ohio. Barrientos is from Ashtabula, Hainer from Cuyahoga Falls, Herron from North Royalton and Leamer from Lordstown.
