Steamy Races At The Arapahoe Warrior XC Invitational

Like the girl's race, the boys race was filled with a fairly deep field. 

While the first half of the race saw a huge pack roll over the course, the second half of the race belonged to Brennan Draper

The Chaparral raged over the the final mile to a statement-making 16:06 victory. 

Not far behind ThunderRidge's Evan Charkut backed-up last week's victory at the D'Evelyn Dash with a runner-up finish here, proving that he is the real deal. His 16:15 here was his second-consecutive personal best this season. 

Chase Cartwright and Cy Teruel were a close 3-4, running 16:20, and 16:22, while Cody Jaramillo was Rock Canyon's second runner to cross the finish line, and the fifth runner to dip under 16:30. 

Rock Canyon pumped all five-scoring runners inside the top-18 to run away with the team race with 54 points. Heritage was second with 109, which was just ahead of Fossil Ridge's 111.
