CLINTONVILLE — The Beekmantown Eagles dashed the Ticonderoga Sentinels’ hopes for an undefeated season, Tuesday, and at the same time, set themselves up for the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference championship meet in cross country.

Beekmantown pulled out a 27-28 victory to deny the Sentinels a shot at a perfect season; however, the Ticonderoga boys still won the regular-season crown with a 17-1 record. Beekmantown finished at 15-3 and with good momentum heading into Saturday’s CVAC showdown in Cadyville. Ticonderoga, Beekmantown and Saranac figure to wage a tough fight for the title.

Colin Quackenbush led the Eagles with a first-place finish in 18:09 over the AuSable Valley course Tuesday. Ticonderoga’s Javeed Nazir was second in 18:18 with Jonathan Graziane (18:27) and Jordan West (18:29) claiming the next two spots for Beekmantown. Tyler Belden of Ticonderoga rounded out the top five in 19:01.

“They (Beekmantown) ran well and their first through third runners ran very well,” said Ticonderoga Coach Jay Wells.

Both teams defeated AuSable Valley, which was led by sophomore Brandon Ruocco, who placed seventh in 19:33.

The Beekmantown girls came away with a sweep as Ticonderoga and AuSable Valley entered incomplete teams.

Ticonderoga’s Naomi Forkas finished first in 23:58, followed by Beekmantown’s Rachel Kashorek, 25:39, and AuSable Valley’s Rachel Ford, 26:20.
