Cross country: Local action continues
By Justin Thomas, jthomas@starlocalnews.com
Only 10 points separated the top three teams Sept.15 at Bakersfield Park in Flower Mound, including a pair of LISD programs jockeying for the top spot at the Flower Mound Invitational.
Despite not having the overall individual champion, the Jaguars had five runners finish in the top 17 to claim the overall title (52) ahead of Keller Timber Creek (54) and Hebron (64).
Not to be outdone was Flower Mound's girls team, which claimed the top spot by a more comfortable margin. The Lady Jaguars totaled 38 points, ahead of the Lady Hawks (66) and Coppell (88).
Flower Mound's top individual performer came on the girls side, where Safiya Belbina picked up the silver (18:36.49) behind Hockaday's Jackie Choucair (18:33.99). Also earning top 10 finishes in ladies action were Hebron's Megan Montgomery (18:45.14) in third, Flower Mound's Catalina Uriarte (18:59.27) in fourth, Hebron's Alondra Hoyos (19:00.99) in fifth, Hebron's Rachel Jones (19:02.93) in sixth, Flower Mound's Rebecca Jacobson (19:03.55) in seventh and Coppell's Katie Sandfort in 10th (19:44.62).
Top performers for boys were Hebron's Robert Domanic (15:52.27) with gold, Coppell's Carson Vickroy (16:10.62) with silver, Flower Mound's Wesley Ward (16:15.05) with bronze, Hebron's James Bodnar (16:19.43) in fourth and Flower Mound's Andrew McRae (16:25.21) in seventh.
The Colony also competed in Flower Mound but didn't field a full squad at 5A, where Blake Anderson (16:52.27) finished 14th for the Cougars.
In the 4A meet, the Lady Cougars (15) cruised past Frisco Liberty (64) and others for first, while the Cougars (36) placed second behind St. Marks (21).
The Cougars and Lady Cougars also had full squads in action last Saturday at the Marcus II Invitational at Copperas Branch Park in Highland Village.
The Lady Cougars totaled third as a unit (64) behind Frisco Centennial (49) and Highland Park (55). The Cougars also took third (82) behind Mesquite Poteet (71) and Frisco Wakeland (78).
The Colony's girls runners were Emily Casper in fourth (19:58.90), Lisa Richins in sixth (20:20.80), Victoria Avila in 12th (21:04.70), Elizabeth Tubbs in 15th (21:13.30), Laura Aguilar in 27th (21:49.40) and Sara Brashears in 39th (22:17.20).
Anderson again paced the boys, this time winning gold (16:38.80). He was followed by Martin Mirzaie in 13th (17:30.20), Scout Anderson in 17th (17:51.20), Samuel Steele in 18th (17:56.70), Gregory Vasquez in 33rd (18:44.90) and Glenn Gress in 43rd (19:23.90).
Newman Smith (fourth, 93) competed as well and was led by a sixth-place finish from Daniel Debes (17:11.60). Rounding out the Trojans on the boys side were Jeffrey Moore in 10th (17:26.70), Gerson Lagunez in 14th (17:34.00), Kevin Debes in 24th (18:08.20), Luis Cabello in 41st (19:22.50), Ricardo Salinas in 50th (19:48.70) and Cullen Renfro in 63rd (20:41.00).
The Lady Trojans (10th, 246) featured Nani Torres in 46th (22:46.30), Mia James in 47th (22:47.00), Adriana De La Rue in 52nd (23:04.10), Julia Wolfe in 63rd (23:58.30) and Taelor Oppliger in 68th (25:48.50).
While Flower Mound was hosting a meet, Marcus took part in the McKinney Boyd Cross Country Meet at Myers Park. And just like their cross-town counterparts, the Marauders and Lady Marauders swept first-place finishes.
The boys (38) outpaced Plano West (45) and Plano East (83), while the girls (31) bested Highland Park (54) and Frisco (97).
Leading the charge for the Lady Marauders with silver was Sydney Brown (17:42.10), who crossed the line just ahead of teammate Madeline Reed in bronze (17:46.20). Peyton Brown placed eighth (18:51.60), with Emily Jeacock in 10th (19:18.30), Natalie Polei in 11th (19:24.40), Miciah Derenzo in 15th (19:35.10) and Hannah Bradley in 20th (19:48.40).
For the boys, Logan Hendrix (15:33.40) procured silver, with Evan Durrill in fourth (15:45.80), Adam Steele in 13th (16:19.70), Drew Guenther in 14th (16:20.70), Josh Duffy in 15th (16:24.30), Alec Blair in 17th (16:30.30) and Ben Reed in 23rd (16:56.30).
Southlake Carroll's cross country team, meanwhile, resumed its competitive running slate after taking a week off Saturday when it took part in the Texas A&M-Kingsville Javelina Invitational for the first time in program history.
Neither time off nor the unfamiliar confines of a new course did the team harm, however, as both the Dragons and Lady Dragons took top honors in their respective meets.
The Lady Dragons dominated placing 11 of the top 12 runners in the event to finish with 16 points. Carroll medalists included Courtney Kreighauser in first (17:56), Elena Arriaza in second (18:14) and Antigone Archer in third (18:15).
The boys also won handily, totaling 18 points after earning six of the top nine spots, including first from Connor Hendrickson (15:17) and second from Alec Garner (15:23).
The varsity programs will continue training this week in preparation for the prestigious Nike South Meet Oct. 6 at Bear Branch Park in The Woodlands.
Listed below are the runners from Coppell, Flower Mound, Hebron, Lewisville and The Colony that competed in the Flower Mound Invitational, as well as Carroll's competitors from Kingsville.
