Region 1-6A Girls

The girls individual race came down to Macy Wingard and Samantha Humphries who both pulled away from the rest of the field almost immediately. 

Wingard then pulled away from Humphries with about 800m remaining to capture her first regional championship.

Carroll teammates Alexandra Walsh and Elizabeth Smits ran to the third and fourth places with Emily Orr getting fifth place in 18:25.

Carroll easily won the team title that eluded them last season by one point.  A healthy squad made the difference for the Dragons and gives them a slight nod heading into the state meet.

Adversely, Flower Mound didn't have the luxury of health. They've run with out Nicole Humphries all season long and this time the Lady Jaguars sat out Alexandra Fox as well. Not many teams can place second in Region 1-6A without two of their top three runners. Running without last year's state champion and third place runner is a hearty blow but they could still probably podium in Round Rock.

Northwest Nelson has been creeping closer to the top two teams all season long and with the state meet on deck, that could be their time to strike. El Paso Franklin qualified last season and has been one of the best teams in the state all year and was able to survive the "Doom" of Region 1 and punch their ticket back to state.

Region 2-6A Girls

The North side of Houston dominated the top finishers at Region 2-6A. It was a trio of Staucie Lees, Kathryn Koonts, and Stoya Laydevant running around Lynn Creek Park together until Lees pulled away with about 800m to go. Koonts tried to keep the pace as did Laydevant.

The three went sub 18-minutes with Klein Cain senior Felicity Hamilton in fouth place and Tomball senior Laney Nash was fifth.

The Woodlands girls ran away with the Region 2-6A title by only scoring 57 points. They put their fifth runner ahead of every other team's fifth runner to secure the win.

Klein was runner-up with 100 points and just one ahead of Bridgeland and their 101 point total.

Region 3-6A Girls

Madison Peters put in another great regional race to make another state meet. Her 17:23 was a solid solo effort on a not so fast course.

Rowan Saacke finished runner-up with a sub eighteen-minute run and she is also heading back to the state meet for her second cross country championships.

Julia Shimel used her experience to carve out a third place finish to turn in a low stick performance for her team. Maddy Hunter is enjoying a good senior season and her low scoring race was good for her team's aspirations. Claudia Klander outlasted her sister by one second for a fifth place regional finish.

Kingwood captured another Region 3-6A title with a promising 18:52 team average. This bodes well for another possible podium finish at state.

Atascocita is having an eye opening season on the girls side. They have watched their boys enjoy success over the past several seasons and now they get to take the glorious ride to the state meet.

Clear Falls and Katy have been on the verge of crashing through to being a top team in the state all year. They now have the chance to prove it to everyone at state. Clear Falls scored 134 points for third and Katy had 140 to get the final qualifying spot.
