EATON — It was beautiful weather for a race as Eaton hosted the Ed Leas Fall Classic on Saturday, Oct. 10.

Runners represented by 19 schools were separated into Purple and Gold races, with Eaton and Preble Shawnee competing in Purple races and National Trail, Tri-County North and Twin Valley South running in the Gold races.

In the Purple boys race, the Eagles took home a second place finish with a team score of 46, just behind Little Miami who took first with a 41.

Eaton’s Jack Bortel (17:22) and Kolby Hamilton (17:34) finished third and fourth, respectively, with Cole Hauser (12th — 18:20), James Baker (13th — 18:26) and Austin Kopf (14th — 18:29) finishing as Eaton’s scoring runners.

“The boys ran their best team race to this point of the season, which is what we aim for as a program going into the championship portion of our season, placing six in the top 17 places overall,” Eaton coach Randy McKinney said. “Little Miami finished ahead of us by five points while we finished eight points ahead of Monroe. A very solid team race, lowering our team gap between our top five runners to 1:07, which is the lowest to this point in the season.”

Monroe (54), Celina (109) and Valley View (150) rounded out the top five with Preble Shawnee finishing ninth with a 263.

“The Lady Eagles finished 21 points ahead of Celina and 26 points ahead of Little Miami to easily capture the team title,” McKinney said. “The girls placed seven runners in the top 10, eight in the top 18 and nine runners in the top 24.
