Since 2003 the premiere course in Rhode Island has been the Ponganset high school covered bridge trail. Ponaganset has played host to every state and class championship as well as a few New England championships. This past week MilesplitRI sat down and compiled the top 50 performances by Rhode Island boys on the covered bridge trail. Many of the recent Class Championship performances cracked our top 50, and we expect many more from the upcoming state meet this week.
