What are the best settings for taking pictures of dog agility outdoors with a Nikon D7100?

I am getting some blur using Shutter priority, AF-C 9 point, 1/250, F7-10 range (varies on what camera chooses), ISO 100.
Added (1). Lens was 18-140. I have blur all over the place which I am not used to as I shoot things liek this often. For example, I have one at F-8, 1/250, ISO 100 56 mm. Then, I have another at F8 1/250, ISO 100, 140 mm. I have the actual settings at ISO-AUTO with 320 F 3.5 set.
Added (2). I should add that I have blur in body. For example, face in focus, blur on legs. Or, oddly focus on body but blur in foreground of grass. I am used to bokeh when shooting posed pictures but this is unlike that. There was some wind, so many that contributed but I have never seen blur of grass this badly before.
