Miamisburg Invite Round-Up: Beavercreek Nets Team Titles

The Miamisburg XC Invitational this past weekend featured all eight GWOC teams, who are only competing within conference until the postseason. These eight squads had been long awaiting the chance to step to the line together for the first meet showcasing all GWOC teams in one place.

The morning started off with the men's varsity race where the senior from Beavercreek, Connor Ewert, took an early lead and never looked back. Finishing with a lifetime personal best mark of 15:49.80, Ewert secured his second win of the season with a 36 second gap over Fairmont's Ben Blaumeiser, who would also finish with a personal best of 16:25.60 as the runner-up. Beavercreek men had their entire top 5 finish with sub-17 efforts and finished first place with a commanding 33 points over Centerville with 82.

Following the men, the Beavercreek ladies also captured their second team win of the season in a very tight race with 36 points over Centerville's 45. Leading the charge for the girls was Juliann Williams, a senior from Beavercreek, and Mia Robillard, sophomore from Centerville. The two ladies labored together through the mile and a half where Williams would put some distance and eventually finish first place in a time of 18:25.60 followed by Robillard with a strong finish of 18:40.70.
