2010 Charlie Finch Memorial Cross Country Race
The 2010 Wabash College cross country team strides out at the beginning of the Charlie Finch Memorial Cross Country Race, a four-mile season-opening race. Two dozen alumni, parents, and family members joined the Little Giants.
Just into the start of the second mile, senior Seth Einterz and juniors Donavan White and Kevin McCarthy lead the pack through the Fuller Arboretum.
How many college presidents in the entire country get up early on a Saturday morning to run with the cross country team? Not very many, that's for sure. But President Pat White has made running in the Finch Memorial an annual tradition!
