The varsity girls cross country qualified for state after finishing fourth at Region 2-6A meet Monday. Senior Madie Boreman led the team, finishing first in 17:14.91. She won the regional title for the fourth year in a row, twice at the 5A level and twice in 6A.

“They changed the course up, so it was really muddy,” Boreman said. “But the race was so fast paced that the mud didn’t even matter.”

Senior Haley Timmons also finished in the top 10, taking eighth. The team will advance to state for the second year in a row while Timmons and Boreman will compete at state for the third and fourth years in a row.

“It feels good getting to go to states again,” Boreman said. “But it feels even better knowing that the team gets to come with me.”

The race took place at Lynn Creek Park in Arlington and the team overall finished fourth out of 24 teams in the region. This is the second year in a row the entire team qualified for the state meet.

“It’s mostly the team, we’ve all kind of worked for it,” freshman Emily Forster said. “Going to state is a big deal and we’ve worked for it all year, it feels pretty good.”

In the boys’ 6A race, sophomore James Tisdale was the lone runner for the school, and finished 49^th.

The girls’ team will travel to Old Settler’s Park, Nov. 7 to compete at the 6A state meet. They run at 12:10 p.m.
