Did you really expect anything less? Great Oak is certainly 'great' - the California powerhouse swept the Sweepstakes Races in an impressive display of depth, as the girls scored 59 points and the boys scored 88 points for the team titles.

The bigger surprise of the evening may have come from Colorado sophomore Allie Chipman, who defeated 4:39 miler Amanda Gehrich of Tesoro for the individual girls title, 16:31.1 to 16:37.5.

Freshman Ember Stratton placed third in 16:38, as a total of nine girls broke 17 minutes on the three miles course. Evelyn Mandel led the charge for Great Oak in fourth place overall (16:54.6), as the squad averaged 17:09 with a 29-second top five spread.

Senior Spencer Dodds won the individual boys title for Great Oak, just edging Tyler Janes, 14:24.3 to 14:24.9. The Flo50 No. 8 ranked Great Oak boys averaged 14:51 with a 47-second top five spread.
