So close, that it took the tie breaker (6th runner) to decide the 'team' champion. Van Wert and Celina tied at the top with 71 points each. Shawnee was just 2 points behind, with 73. Van Wert was awarded the Championship based on its number 6 runner placing 26th, to Celina's sixth runner's 45th.

Aliyah King (50th, personal best time), Sammy Exman (52nd, personal best time), Alecia Eischen (53rd, personal best time), Zoey Aukerman (59th, season best time), and Sammie Winner (73rd, personal best time) also competed. In total, 9 of the 10 Celina Gals set personal records, with the 10th running a season best. A GREAT day for the Runnin' Women.

The Boys took center stage after the Girls. Celina's Runnin' Men were looking to follow the Gals example and run the fastest times of their careers, letting the 'team' results fall where they may. Just like the Women, the Men kicked butt, with 7 of the 8 CHS Guys beating their previous individual records. The 8th set a season fastest mark. Conor Krogman led the Bulldog Pack as he crossed 26th of the 128 finishers. Conor broke the 18:00 barrier for the first time, running 17:48.56. Cole Hitchcock and Collin Williams were 35th and 37th, crushing their previous best clockings. Hitting the line under 19:00 for the first time were Ty Drexler and Logan Goettemoeller.
