LYNCHBURG — A pair of county runners topped their races Tuesday at the Lynchburg-Clay quad meet and East Clinton won the overall boys team title.

East Clinton’s Molly Seabaugh and Blanchester’s Drew Wyss were race winners — Wyss in 21:23 in the boys race and Seabaugh 25:00 in the girls race.

Also running for Blanchester was Kaleb Tabor, Brendon Crothers, Kaci Grillot, Landon Abt and Aisley Czaika.

Also for the East Clinton girls, Kaylynn Deaton was third in 28:27.19.

On the boys side for the Astros, Dylan Arnold was third in 22:07.48 as the boys defeated Blanchester, Fayetteville and Lynchburg-Clay.

“The coaching staff is impressed with their efforts,” said East Clinton coach Josh Simmons. “In every race we could tell early on that the athletes were struggling with the heat and the short recovery time, having just excelled at the McClain Invitational on Saturday. With conditions against them the Astros still ended with three personal records for their efforts. We will prep the rest of the week for our upcoming meet Saturday in Lebanon.”
