Run out winners

Could you tell me what the 'run out winners' means in the following sentence?
Can I change it for 'run winners out' or 'run out of winners?'
Thank you.

Trent College run out winners in NatWest Schools U18 Vase semi-final.

The bold part is not a complete sentence. If it is a headline, it works if 'run out' means put forth, show off, etc. If not, I don't know what it is supposed to be saying.

It's a headline, but what does the 'not a complete sentence' mean?
Is the structure of the sentence 'Trent College (which is) run out winners in NatWest Schools U18 Vase semi-final?'
