BELLEFONTAINE — Bellefontaine High School Junior Connor Skidmore was the only member of his team running in the Regional Cross Country Meet last weekend in Troy.

Skidmore hoped to advance to State, but ended up making an impression with other runners and people in the stands.

As Skidmore approached the finish lane, he saw an injured runner from Mason High School and Connor decided to stop and help him.

A video of Connor helping the Mason runner was posted to TikTok and has received several thousand likes.

He supported the runner as they both crossed the finish line.

Connor said in his mind, helping the fellow runner was just the right thing to do.
