What an amazing performance by all of our ladies cross country teams this past Friday. They competed at the District 19-6A Championships and advanced to the Regional Championships for the 13th time in school history. The course was flat and dry and temperatures were ideal for running. The times reflected this as many young ladies ran personal bests. All three teams that competed, finished in 3rd place, and our varsity finished high enough to qualify for the regional championship in Huntsville on Monday October 22nd at 8:30 am.
On the freshman level, the Spartans finished with 71 points, behind Katy’s 42 and Tompkins 27. The girls ran well all season, and a lot of progress has taken place. So proud of these young ladies and looking forward to the future. The team that ran included:
- Leaah Chang 8th place 13:43
- Luann Drake 9th place 13:43
- Joanna Wang 15th place 14:20
- Reagan Smith 19th place 14:44
- Hayaa Shahid 20th place 14:45
- Brylea Shmidt 21st place 14:55
- Tofunmi Jewisimi 22nd place 14:55
On the JV level, the Spartans finished with 55 points, just behind Katy’s 50, while Tompkins scored 35. The girls were paced by 3 top ten finishes, and the team performed very well. Again, many PR’s were scored by this group.

On the Varsity level, the girls fought hard and ran an exceptional race. Once again the Spartans finished in 3rd place with 61 points, edging out Cinco’s 65, while still maintaining striking distance with Katy’s 54, and Tompkins 40. The girls will travel next Sunday and spend the night in Huntsville prior to running on Monday the 22nd. 6 of 7 runners ran PR’s on the fast course and 5 of our ladies won All District Honors.
