AVON, OH - Camryn Dennis, 9, is the winner of the 2017 Eagle Run Kids T-shirt Design Contest. Dennis is a third-grader at Avon Heritage Elementary School and Avon Local Schools Superintendent Mike Laub presented Dennis with her finalized, winning design.

Dennis got a certificate and a goodie bag full of fun items from Mercy and the school district. Dennis also got a four-pack of tickets to an upcoming Lake Erie Crushers baseball game.
