It’s a three-peat for the Southlake Carroll boys cross-country team.

During the state meet in Round Rock over the weekend, the boys cross-country team won its third consecutive state championship trophy. The girls team came in fourth place, following behind Flower Mound, Prosper and The Woodlands in first, second and third respectively. 

Junior David Fisher led the boys, finishing ninth overall with a time of 15:39, with sophomore Jude Alvarez following closely behind in 10th place with a time of 15:40. Senior Kaylie Cox led the girls, finishing 14th overall with a time of 18:20, with sophomore Sylvia Schwedler following up in 20th place with a time of 18:33. 

“Words cannot describe how proud I am of our young men and women,” Southlake Carroll head cross-country coach Justin Leonard says via press release. “After graduating so many seniors last year, we asked a lot of our underclassmen to step up and take leadership roles. And all they did was lead us to a third straight boys state title and the 25th consecutive year for the girls qualifying for the state meet. I’m honored to be their coach.”
