Event Information

The Gary Smith Worthington Classic honors Gary Smith who was a teacher in the Worthington School District for 30 years, and a track/cross country coach at Thomas Worthington High School. He was an English teacher and also taught students in the Occupational Work Adjustment Program. As both a teacher and coach, Gary made a lasting contribution to the youth in the community. He died in June of 1998 after waging a courageous five-month battle against cancer.
