Ashe County runners were the top performers once again, this time at Wilkes Central, competing against the Eagles as well as the Elkin Bucking Elks.

The Elks feature arguably the best runner in the conference in Zach Milsaps, but it would be the Huskies as a team that would earn the victory. Milsaps won the men’s meet in 17 minutes, 24 seconds. Ashe runner Glenn Bailey was not far behind however, finishing in 17:53, good enough for second place overall. Josh Rees-Jones finished in fourth with a time of 18:53 while Mitch Rees-Jones captured sixth in 19:21. The final two Husky runners that scored points for Ashe were Jonathan Nichols in 10th (20:08) and T.J. Trivette in 13th (21:02)
