Rittman's Luke Snyder owns distance events at D3 Norwayne Regional
CRESTON — One thing that Rittman’s Luke Snyder prides himself on his knowing exactly at what point of a race to kick. It’s a plan that he and his coach (and dad) Matt Snyder discuss at length in training sessions leading up to race day. But on Friday night at the Norwayne Division III Regional, Luke Snyder had a tough time remembering exactly when to go. An Honors Algebra II final exam earlier in the day can...
