LIMA BATH - The Ada cross country teams competed in another warm meet at the Bath Invitational Tuesday evening.

"It is meets like this that remind me that cross country is probably the friendliest sport around," said coach Josh Klein. "Our times were a direct result of the heat. It is a really cool experience to see fellow coaches, crowd members, and other athletes rally around one another when someone was struggling, or simply walking because they were overheated."
