21 year old Rhiannon Johns placed sixth overall with a time of 34:45 for the 10K race.
Johns was cheered by Beth and Alan Johns - aunt and uncle. Rhiannon is the daughter of Kevin and Karen Johns of Sault Ste. Marie . Rhiannon has been attending the University of Alabama - Birmingham
“It feels great,” said Johns. “To have my aunt and uncle ... and thousands cheering us along the whole way. I hadn’t run a 10K road race before. I ran the course (Friday). I just went out pretty conservative.” Johns told the Ottawa Sun.
