Eureka’s Everett Docherty was second in a time of 18:16 for his best career finish in an H-DNL race.

After placing second to Arcata in each of the first two league races, the Eureka boys had five runners place in the top 10 to secure the team win by just two points.

Eureka scored 33 points, with the Tigers, who had four runners in the top 10, scoring 35 points.

McKinleyville was a distant third with 92 points followed by Hoopa (111) and Fortuna (115).

Individually a sophomore and a freshmen placed in the top four.

Arcata sophomore Ocean Walker was third and crossed the finish line just two seconds behind Docherty in a time of 18:18, with Eureka freshman Ryder Bullman fourth in a time of 18:24.
