It was a battle to the finish in the boys 5k at Friday's Doherty Spartan Invitational between Chandler Wilburn and Lucas Bossinger
Wilburn, senior at The Classic Academy, took the win in 16:16.26.
This is the senior's second consecutive win this season. He took first at the Longs Peak Invitational just a few weeks ago.
Bossinger of Palmer Ridge was runner up in 16:17.77, finishing almost directly behind Wilburn.
The junior currently sits No. 11 in Colorado and has finished in the top ten at every meet he's competed in this season - I'd say we can expect lots from him in the near future.
The two were in good company with Matthew Edwards, also from The Classic Academy, not too far behind them in 16:24.38.
Edwards took third - he has a first and a second place finish under his belt from this season as well.
Fourth was Devin Chappel of Garden City High School. He finished with a time of 16:33.77.
Parker Davidson of Coronado followed in fifth with a 16:46.52, and Sheppard Collier of Lewis-Palmer finished sixth in 16:48.52.
In the girls 5k, it was another close battle with Adele Havlick and Jade Allen only finishing six hundredths of a second apart from each other.
It was a fierce battle all the way to the line. Havlick stole the win in 19:14.39 - this is her first victory of the season.
The Palmer senior has had a solid season thus far - she clocked a time of 18:20.56 just a few weeks ago at the Coronado Cougar Classic and finished runner up.
Allen was on her heels, finishing in 19:14.45.
The Lewis-Palmer junior ran 18:13.00 at the Liberty Bell Invitational last month, let's see what else she has in store coming up.
Emma Wilhelm of Pine Creek took third in 19:23.70. Emily Beers was fourth in 19:41.95.
Beers is only a sophomore out of Air Academy and ran a huge personal best of 18:43.10 last week at the Desert Twilight XC Festival
Lily Poteet was fifth 20:06.44 putting another Lewis-Palmer runner in the top-five, followed by Leila Pizzimenti from Rampart in sixth with 20:15.18.
