Cooler temperatures and rain-free conditions made for two great days of competition at Eagle Park this weekend. Friday evening, the Eagle harriers took to the course in the small-school division of the meet. Both the boys and girls squads finished in third place. The girls were led by Abby Fleetwood, who won her division, running a 19:24 in her first 5k race at Eagle Park. The Eagles had two other top-10 finishes as Hadley Gradolf finished 4th in 20:07 and Eme Koester was 10th in 21:02. On the boys’ side, Chase Austin finished in second as he made quite a battle towards the finish line for the top position. Austin’s 16:43 was only 2 seconds away from the overall champion from North Harrison. The Eagles also got strong performances from Cord Smith and Blake Wagler. Smith was 24th in 18:22 and Wagler was 25th in 18:23. The Eagles will use the next week to train as they prepare for the WIC Championship on 9/22 at Edgewood. Other Eagle finishers are listed below:
