Almost every school in the area competed at the Wichita Falls Endurance House cross country meet on a rainy Wednesday.
The top performing teams from the coverage area were the Saint Jo girl’s team that finished in first place in the JV race and the Bowie boy’s team that finished third overall.
The area girl’s teams all competed in the JV race since its length was the same as the other races they will run this season. 5A and bigger schools lengthen the girl’s cross country race from 3,200 meters to 4,000 meters.
In the race, Saint Jo was led by Abigail Carter who finished seventh overall with a time of 13:01. The Lady Panther top five finishers included Taylor Patrick (13th), Savannah Hill (17th), Kaycee Clark (23rd) and Tatum Morman (31st).
Bowie finished fifth overall with its top runner Laney Segura finishing ninth overall with a time of 13:15. The team’s top five runners also included Brylie Hager (29th), Bella Lozano (32nd), Harlei Hudson (57th) and Isabella Caswell (63rd).
The Bellevue team finished 10th overall and was led by Mattie Broussard who finished second overall with a time of 12:33. The Lady Eagle’s top five runners also included Brittany Gill (54th), Kaycee Conner (64th), Mary Grace Broussard (66th) and Tristan Shook (86th).

In the boy’s race, Bowie was led by Isaac Renteria who finished third overall with a time of 16:48. He was followed close behind by teammate Brayden Willett who finished fourth overall.
The Jackrabbits top five runners also included Sebastian Martinez (11th), Monte Mayfield (33rd) and Russell Anderson (35th).

Nocona was missing one runner so it was one short of the five runner minimum to compete as a team. The Indians top runner was Omar Salinas who finished 47th with a time of 19:53.
Prairie Valley had one runner compete in the varsity race. Josh Stout finished 13th overall with a time of 18:16.
In the JV boy’s race, Bellevue competed in it. The Eagles were led by River Trail who finished 11th overall with a time of 21:49. The team’s top five runners included Brycen Bancroft (32nd), Cowyn Langford (35th), Aaron Allison (49th) and Hunter Blackburn (52nd).
