Photo by Jim Granger In the boys race, a lead pack of Devin Tupper (Norfolk Collegiate), Greg Swanson (Norfolk Christian), and Ian Granger (Norfolk Academy) stayed in tact for the first half of the race.  Right before the two mile mark, Granger opened up a 10 yard lead and opened it to 30 yards on the big down and up hill after the two mile mark. Swanson followed and cut into the lead the last 400, but Granger opened it back up on the last 100 meters and won in 17:14.  For the team title, Swanson's Norfolk Christian team fell just a few points short of defending champs Peninsula Catholic, who had a giant pack of five in the mid-teen places.   TCIS Championships Results: Boys Race - Girls Race
