St. Bonaventure

Clay Peets continued his amazing season with another meet victory this past Saturday in Gettysburg.

For the second consecutive meet, Peets led wire-to-wire in a dominating performance.

The Akron, Ohio native showed the way in the meet of over 320 competitors, often distancing the field with an 8K mark of 23:56.8. He ran the first mile in 4:38 to separate himself and never looked back. At the end of the race, Peets cleared the competition by 14 seconds.

His run under sun-splashed skies and nearly perfect conditions Saturday morning marks the first time a Bonnies competitor has broken the 24-minute barrier in an 8K race and easily surpasses his previous program record effort of 24:12.2 set two weeks ago in Louisville. Peets also smashed the existing Gettysburg College course record of 24:15 in the 36^th edition of the meet.

This fall, Peets has won three of his four meets with his worst finish being second.
