The Little Miami Panthers varsity cross country team has done it again! After capturing its first-ever Eastern Cincinnati Conference (ECC) Cross Country Championship in 2024, the Panthers stormed back in 2025 to defend their title — and they did it in dominant fashion.

At the 2025 ECC Championships on October 12, Little Miami scored 68 points with a 16:09 team average to secure the crown. The Panthers swept the top three spots, with junior Ryne Reynolds winning the individual title in 15:16.50, followed by sophomore Ian Patrick (15:28.80) and senior captain Justin Evans (15:44.70).

Their 1–2–3 finish and tight 2:00 split highlighted the team's depth, discipline, and chemistry — outpacing conference rivals Lebanon (80 pts) and Loveland (82 pts). "These kids are building something special," said Coach Brant. "Every single runner stepped up and believed in the team first."

With two straight ECC titles and a culture built on heart and hard work, the Panthers have officially established themselves as the standard in the ECC.
