Seitz, who shares a hometown and alma mater with the great Larry Bird, won Saturday’s boys’ championship 5K by a whopping 26 seconds, one year after beating Noah Bontrager at the line for the title. He ran an incredible 14:34, 27 seconds faster than last year’s winning time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Wilbourne of Signature was second with a time that was better than Seitz’s 2025 win, and Samuel Sweet led the Carroll Chargers to the state team title with his third-place time of 15:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellmont freshman Emmett Glenn capped off his ninth-grade season with a time of 16:54, good enough for 204th place in a field of 250 runners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glenn entered October without having ever cracked the 16s and he finished October running in the state meet after running five consecutive Saturday 5Ks at 16-something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
