With the win Topham also helped the Tigers push closer to a team championship in 1A as they are in the top spot with 40 team points after that race.  The Tigers have the 1500 Meter Run with both Topham and Alyx Flippen running.

West Hancock appears to be the biggest threat to catch Griswold and the have 26 points currently and three events left.
