I know this is not FB, but I am just wondering why we are using BHS and not Mill Creek Park. Such a phenomenal park is always a sense of pride for me.

Fan - there really isn't a cross county course in Mill Creek Park and I am not sure there is room for one.  Cross Country is run on grass - perhaps cross a paved path or two, but its not a road race.  Many cross country races take place on golf courses.

Mill Creek would be great for a road race, but unless someone wants to make a course up through some of the golf courses, I don't recall any other place in the park with enough open areas.

Boardman is one of the better courses in the state and the people there really know how to run a race.  Lots of parking as well.

As Vindy stated, Mill Creek doesn't have one and Boadman has always had one of the best courses

My memory might be failing me these days, but I could almost swear that we used to run on the golf course. I went there to take pictures. Maybe it was a one-time affair?

Either way, we should give the team a home course. Make it similar to Cene Park. I live in Columbus and OSU golf's Scarlet and Gray courses are also, usd for the Upper Arlington HS team.
