I wasn't there and do not know what happened, but was there controversy at the start of the single A race over the disputed eligibility of runners or was there something else involved?

I was there and did not hear of any issues with the start of the race.

Michael Caldwell of Bishop Brossart was amazing. He blew away the field finishing .43 seconds ahead of Eric Baugh of Villa Madonna. Caldwell posted a time of 16:01.8. Link to complete results are attached. Top 5 teams qualified for state meet next week.

Michael is a beast and has a season nothing short of incredible. I fully anticipate he will cap it off with an individual win and achoring his team to a champtionship as well next week. Great kid.

Big controversy in another Region though.
