New Madison, Ohio -- On April 8th, 2017, the Tri-Village MVCTC FFA Chapter hosted the Inaugural Clayton Murphy 5k, which was held at the Clayton Murphy Track and Field, located at Tri-Village Local Schools. It was hosted in honor of former chapter member and Olympic bronze medalist Clayton Murphy. Clayton is a former Tri-Village FFA member, was Vice President, and was very active in many Career Development Events. As this 5k was the first that the Tri-Village Chapter hosted, it was a very impressive turnout with 135 participants, including members from Preble Shawnee and Western Brown FFA Chapters. Clayton was also present to sign autographs and cheer on his supporters.

The event was planned and operated by the members of the Tri-Village MVCTC FFA and its advisors. The Tri-Village MVCTC would like to thank all the participants, supporters, and volunteers that were present and also to all of their sponsors, without whom none of this would have been possible.
