The OHXC Golden Eagles managed to close the gap on Sectional Champion Wabash but ultimately it was not enough as the men fell 9 points short of winning their 1st Regional title since 2014. By finishing 2nd overall at the IHSAA Marion Regional the Golden Eagles advance to the IHSAA Semi State for the 7th straight season and 19th time in the last 21 years. By advancing the men also marked the 21st straight season at least one of our OHXC teams has reached the Semi State.
Junior Owen Jackson fresh off his wins at the CIC and Sectional led wire to wire to finish 1st individually in 16:18 a strong time on a windy day. Jackson’s Regional title was the 5th ever by an OHXC Golden Eagle and the 1st since Cameron Balser did it in 2008. Classmate Trenton Sweet ran a very strong race to finsih 2nd overall to Jackson just as he did at the CIC and Sectional. Sweet’s time was 16:23 nearly a personal best. Jackson and Sweet’s 1-2 Regional finish was the 1st time in program history two Golden Eagle athletes accomplished that feat.
Jackson and Sweet were joined on the Top 20 All Regional Team by classmate Toby Sneed who crossed in 14th place overall. Freshman Corban Tippey had his best race of the season in tough conditions finishing 24th in a new personal best of 17:30.
