If you're looking for a female role model, look no further than hometown hero, Tina Ryee! Graduating from Central Catholic with a school record and a State Runner-Up Title in Cross Country, Tina continued her all-star story as a student-athlete at Malone University where she would ultimately earn the title of NCAA Division II All-American. Today Tina holds the title of Director of Track & Field and Cross Country at her alma mater. 

In her 6 years of coaching, Tina has led multiple nationally ranked athletes. Most recently, she co-founded the USATF Women's 6k - a race held here in Canton that is currently the sole women's-only race of its kind in the elite circuit.

Tina and her panel of athletes (Featuring: Kendell Anenson, Sam Hier, Rylee Yocum, Kylee Gray, and Kaelyn Jones) are also heavily involved with Girls on the Run, a program that advocates for not just the physical well-being of young girls, but the emotional as well.
