Missouri Military Academy’s Bryson Powell was a winner for the second time this season.

Powell finished first Monday at the Clopton Hamburger Meet in Clarksville after running a time of 17:26.33, beating runner-up Elsberry’s Dashaun Dodson by almost 30 seconds. Gerardo Quiroga and Malachi Imrie finished in the top 20, and Wayland Evans, Michael Pfeifer and Albert Ogutu gave MMA three more top-30 runners for a third-place team effort.

Powell won his second event of the season after taking first in MMA’s home meet Sept. 7 with a season-best time of 17:04.90. Quiroga was 16th with a time of 19:38.57, Imrie was 19th with a time of 20:00.84, Evans was 23rd with a time of 20:22.81, Pfeifer was 26th with a time of 20:32.05 and Ogutu was 28th with a time of 20:38.98.

The Colonels finished with 65 points to trail behind winner Elsberry’s 33 points and runner-up Bowling Green’s 38 points.

Van-Far’s Childs finishes 16th

Van-Far’s Erin Childs was coming off a 15th-place finish and didn’t stray too far from that Monday in Clarksville.

Childs finished 16th with a time of 26:47.24 at the Clopton Hamburger Meet after taking 15th at a meet hosted by North Callaway on Oct. 1. Richard Hayden was 49th in the boys’ 5,000 meters with a time of 24:22.26.

Three Paris runners finish in top 10

Two days after finishing in the top 20 at Gans Creek in Columbia, the same three Paris runners earned top-10 finishes Monday at the Clopton Hamburger Meet in Clarksville.

Alexandra Tullius joined her in the top five by racing to a time of 23:07.20. In the boys’ 5,000 meters, Landen Chapman took eighth after running to a time of 18:58.33.
