Travis Sickles, a senior at Southwest High School in Washburn, was the overall winner in the 10K competition of the Cabin Fever Reliever road races at Rogersville on Saturday. In his very first road race experience, Sickles blew away a field of veteran runners, posting a hot winning time in frigid weather conditions.
The Cabin Fever Reliever races are the annual kickoff for the Ozark Mountain Ridgerunners running club of Springfield, with runners competing at 5K, 10K, and 20K distances.
