MEN'S RESULTS | WOMEN'S RESULTS

"Tale of two teams," said Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Erin Tucker. "We definitely stayed more focused, composed, and ran tougher today! I like how we ended the season — we learned more about ourselves and we will be better for indoor. This group has been at it since August; now they get some rest, they can recharge, and get ready for indoor season. Coach K has some good pieces to work with and I am excited to see this group scoring points for us at the indoor conference meet! Indoor track, here we come! Go Eags!"

On the men's side, Conner Wirth led the Eagles with a 97th-place finish in 31:19.2. He was followed by Owen Higgins in 128th (31:58.8), then Lucas Spurling in 145th, Grady Fournier in 155th, and Charlie Ledwith in 169th.

In the women's race, Sara Sanders paced Eastern with a 124th-place finish in 22:03.9, with Rylee Brandon close behind in 126th at 22:04.7. Rhiannon Davis came through next in 158th, followed by Emma Tomlinson in 189th and Adrienne Root in 203rd.

With the regional meet complete, the Eagles officially close the book on the 2025 cross country season and shift their attention to the indoor track and field campaign, which begins Saturday, Dec. 13 at the Spokane Invite, now just 29 days away.
