Elks Claim Varsity Wins At Springboro Invite

Springboro hosted the GWOC only Meet No. 3 on Saturday. They turned around a brand new course on very short notice to ensure GWOC teams had a place to compete.

The morning started off with the men's varsity race where the junior from Fairmont, Max Kramer, fought to the finish with Isaac Studebaker, a senior from Northmont. The two would both end up with personal bests and Max Kramer with the win in a time of 16:18.60 and Studebaker not far behind in a time 16:22.30. The Centerville men came away with the team victory scoring 57 points.

Following the men, the Centerville ladies displayed an impressive sweep with 15 points and all 5 runners finishing in under 20 minutes. Leading the charge for the girls was sophomore, Mia Robillard winning with a season best of 18:29.20.

The boys open race ended in an exciting battle between Centerville's junior, Connor Boring and Beavercreek senior, Evan Lawson. Boring would eventually win with a kick in the last 100 meters in a time of 18:31.10 over Lawson's 18:34.20. The girls open race was led by a pack of Beavercreek runners. The two freshmen Claire Eskew and Abby Roberts came out with matching times of 21:25.30, followed closely by the sophomore Mia Beemsterboer in a time of 21:28.40.
