The boys race saw the Clear Lake Lions have success as well, placing second, along with Ogden, with 92 points, behind Nevada who finished first with 51 points.

Isaac Smith, Aiden Hippen, and Aiden Burtness rounded out our scoring. However, the points added up to be the same as Ogden, so with the tie breaker going to the better sixth runner, Senior Ethan Evelsizer made himself count helping us to win the tie breaker and achieve our goal of finishing as a top two team.”
