In the boys varsity race, there's an intriguing meetup between three runners with state meet individual title hopes: 3A's Tiger Bartlett of Ryle, 2A's Will Sheets of Cov Cath, and 1A's Nathan Ruth of Brossart.

Highlands 14 (3 B/11 G)

Bishop Brossart 13 (10 B/3 G)

Lloyd Memorial 3 (3 B)

• Notably missing from today's meet:

Two time defending 3A Boys titleist Conner, competing in the Rick Weinheimer C.C. Classic in Columbus, IN. 

Prepping for next week's Mason Invitational in Cincinnati, former three time Girls champion Scott.

Excellent chances of defending 1A girls champ Beechwood, led by Lily Parke to win the girls varsity race. 

Look for Cov Cath to win the boys JV division.

From the first results loading (slowly), it appears the entry list above is inaccurate. I'm posting remotely, so was unable to verify. Cov Cath, for one, has not entered a varsity team. That's poor follow up on my part.

Boys Varsity ~

First place: Tiger Bartlett, Ryle 16:05.34

No official team scoring yet, but it appears Cooper has won the team title.

Here's the ? milesplit.live/meets

• Boys Varsity (cont.) ~

Cooper's win was paced by top 10 finishes by Paul Van Laningham (3th) and Salah Farah (6th). Congrats to the Jags!

Villa Madonna, finishing second, looks like it'll be a player in the 1A Regional, nudging ahead of St. Henry and Brossart for second.

Campbell Co.'s Jonathan Christopher was runner-up to Bartlett. Brossart's Nathan Ruth (4th) was the first Class 1A finisher. 

Top 5 Teams: 1. Cooper 77, 2. Villa Madonna 97, 3. St. Henry, 4. Mason Co. 107, 5. Bishop Brossart 111.

Kudos to @98NCCalum's boy for stepping up in his first varsity race. ? Would love to read some "color commentary" from him on the day.

 • Girls Varsity ~ 

As predicted, Beechwood did win, besting GGCL D1 Cincinnati Seton. Congratulations Tigers! 

Race winner Olivia Holbrook of Campbell Co. paced the Camels to a fourth place finish with a 19:18.90. Lily Parke (2nd) and Charli Getting (8th) led Beechwood to the title. 

Scott didn't enter a team today. I'm curious to see how 3A Notre Dame (3rd) and Campbell Co. (4th) today, will fare against them at season's close. 

Top 5 Teams: 1. Beechwood 54, Seton (OH) 67, 3. Notre Dame 84, 4. Campbell Co. 100, 5. Ryle 138
