Congratulations to Jackson High School for figuring out a better way to configure the Charlie Janke 5K course at Sharp Park. The Jackson Invitational moved the awards area to the south of the parking lot. Before, the awards were jammed into the area in front of the large pavilion. There was not enough room for the top 20 or so runners and fans were jammed in. Trying to get photos was like battling eight moms for the homecoming king/queen pictures. The new configurations is a large U where everyone could stand on the side and get pictures. Those who wanted could go through the opening and shoot photos straight on the runners or group. I hope everyone adapts this concept.
