EAGLE, ID – Eastern Oregon teams joined over 5,000 runners at Eagle Island State Park for the annual Bob Firman Invitational, a race featuring top high school runners from around the nation. Due to the scale of the event, the races were run both Friday, Sept. 27 and Saturday, Sept. 28.
Runners were divided into 18 separate races over the two days of competition.
The Elite race featured top runners finishing in just over 15 minutes for the boys and under 18 minutes for the girls.
After opting out of the freshman race and running in the Division II group, Pine Eagle freshman Lindsey Brown had the top eastern Oregon finish, placing fifth with a time of 19 minutes, 49.1 seconds.
Could we be seeing Brown running with the elite group in the next few years?
