The Region 1 Championship was eerily similar, as six of Jamestown’s runners placed in the top 10. Most of the attention was placed on front-runner Andrew Colley, who broke the course records at both meets, running 14:36 and 15:45 respectively. Right behind Colley, however, were his teammates Junior Colin Mearns and Senior John Holt. Mearns and Holt finished second and third respectively at both the district and regional meets, securing the Jamestown victories. The pair forms the backbone of the Jamestown squad. Their top 10 individiaul finishes at both Maymont and Manhattan were the keys to the Eagles establishing themselves as a team worthy of national rankings and recognition from their performances at both meets.
