Taking on Carrollton’s course in the cold air on Friday morning, the TFS cross country teams had great success.
The Lady Indians finished 7th, setting a program record with their best-ever finish. The girls were paced by Avery Keim and Josie Chesser, who finished back-to-back at 31st and 32nd. Keim came in at 22:49 and Chesser 22:52. Carsyn Griffis (56th; 24:03), Dani Prince (60th; 24:13), Olivia Henderson (65th; 24:37), Sara Bailey (73rd; 24:56), and Delaney Johnson (75th; 25:10) rounded out the field for TFS.
The Indians placed 13th as as a team, a remarkable finish while going in as the 18th in early projections. That improvement was a total team effort. Timothy Beck came in 38th with an 18:20 run. Teagan Penland (18:32) was 47th, Ryan Anderson (19:46) was 78th, Alvaro Garcia Breton (20:30) was 103rd, and Jackson Shadburn (20:49) was 112th as the top four. Gavin Simmons (133rd; 21:30) and Oier Linera Mallea (138th; 21:35) competed as well.
The season is now complete for the cross country teams.
