The Southlake Carroll boys cross-country team won their fourth straight regional championship on Monday, Oct. 25, according to a media release.
Taking place in Lubbock, the Region 1-6A Championship not only saw the boys team take the top spot but also the girls team winning second place. With these performances, both the boys and girls cross-country teams are headed to state. This is the 25th consecutive year the boys have qualified for state and the 12th consecutive year the girls have qualified for state, according to a media release.
“I’m really proud of our young men and women,” head coach Justin Leonard says via release. “The competition was steep out here today, and we’ll see some of these teams again at the state meet. The boys are excited to have the opportunity to defend their state championship, and the girls want to improve on their second-place finish from a year ago.”
