BLANCHESTER — Wilmington was runnerup Wednesday in the varsity boys race at the Blanchester Invitational cross country meet.
The Hurricane trailed only Bethel-Tate while Blanchester was third and Clinton-Massie fifth.
The varsity course was reduced to 3,000 meters rather than the normal 5,000 meters because a portion of the course was under water because of the rain that fell throughout the morning and early afternoon Wednesday.
Hunter Browning of Blanchester was the first Clinton County runner to cross the finish line, placing fourth in 10:56.33, less than a second ahead of Wilmington’s Simon Heys. Heys, the WHS record holder, was fifth in 10:57.17.
Jacob Whitaker of Clinton-Massie clocked an 11:01.57 and was sixth in the race. Aiden Henson was the first Astro, placing 405th in 12:12.51.
In the junior high boys race, Alex Vail of Wilmington’s Rodger O. Borror Middle School was sixth in 12:43.35. Brett Bandow of Blanchester was eighth in 12:49.2 while Braydon Green of Clinton-Massie was 19th in 13:10.61 and East Clinton’s Van Frye placed 29th in 13:20.39.
