The Southlake Carroll Boys and Girls teams will advance to the State Championship in Round Rock on Saturday, Nov. 10.
The teams came away with first place in the Boys and Girls divisions at the 5A-Region-I meet in Lubbock on a cool, windy day and at high altitude. The race took place at Mae Simmons Park and is known for its steep hills, gravel and unforgiving course.
“I’m very proud of both the boys and girls teams,” said Justin Leonard, Southlake Carroll Cross Country Coach. “They really stepped up today and came out to the course here in Lubbock and punched their ticket to the state meet. They have been waiting for this week for a year now.”
With nearly 200 regional competitors, the Lady Dragons won the title with 39 team points, followed by Lewisville Marcus with 99 points and Lewisville Hebron with 103.
Southlake Carroll Boys brought home the first place finish with 35 team points, Lewisville Marcus with 111 points and El Paso Eastwood with 113.
The top three teams and top 10 individuals from each region advance to the State Meet in Round Rock.
