The UIL 6A state meet runner-up Bridgeland and third place finishers Katy both travelled to Huntsville, Alabama to compete in the RunningLane XC National Championships.
Competing without their top runner Lily Fawcett, Bridgeland got their usual rock steady race from junior Rowan Saacke who placed ninth overall with a 17:26 personal best along with a good race in the two spot from Susana Rawls with her 18:09.
With a team average of 18:32, the Bears were able to only tally 97 total points.
Katy was only ten points back in second. Their 18:48 average and 0:54 second gap helped shore up their runner-up finish.
Senior Victoria Guerrero turned in a 18:19 in 47th place, but it was only six points for the team total. Freshman Vienna Fish was the Katy number two finisher with a 18:36 personal best.
