Shawn Hutchison finally grabbed that elusive Robert Keissling Championship running a 16:35. This wasn't his best meet performance either, last year he ran 16:13 to place second behind Camden Catholic's Kyle Kirk (now at Lehigh) who posted 16:05 that year.
I'm sure the best part of this day for Hutchison was that his team pulled through to enjoy the taste of victory as well. Bishop Eustace Prep scored 32 points, 1-3-7-10-11, and averaged 17:15 for the win.
Below you will find the top five finishers as well as the team performance by the Bishop Eustace scoring runners.
