Individual Qualifiers (Top 10 not on the 3 advancing teams)

Flower Mound (Champions, 32 pts - 1:29:09 total, 17:49 avg): This is what five-time defending 6A champs are supposed to look like in October. The Jaguars stacked five in the top 11 and did it with range plus depth: Adeline Bennett (3rd, 17:07) gave them a true low stick, then the trio of Liana Cluley-Garza (17:44), Keira Primer (17:52), McKayla Kohutek (18:07) kept the scoring drumbeat steady before Eliana Rivera (18:17) slammed the door. That's a ~1:10 1-5 spread at sub-18 pace up front, exactly the kind of compression that travels to Lubbock and Round Rock. The kicker? Allie Driscoll (18:34) and Megan Schmidt (18:44) sat in displacement roles that would score for most districts. Flower Mound's pathway remains the same: control the middle, let the ace(s) up front do the rest.

Lewisville Marcus (Runner-up, 92 pts - 1:34:59 total, 18:59 avg): Marcus earned advancement the hard way with a true pack identity and minimal let-off. The five scorers landed between 18:27 and 19:18-a tight ~0:51 spread, led by Kinsley Tracy (18:27) and supported by Ana Sofia Godinez Chavez (18:59), Tinsley Potter (19:03), Elise Schwendinger (19:10), and Olivia Williams (19:18). That's a group that can surge together mid-race and pick up spots in the final mile, a trait that often pays even bigger dividends at windy, tactical Region I. With Lana Libby (19:23) and Maria Godinez Chavez (19:49) as insurance, the Marauders have both stability and upside.

Lewisville Hebron (Third, 93 pts - 1:35:08 total, 19:01 avg): Hebron edged Braswell for the last ticket thanks to front-end pop plus enough ballast through five. Taylor Dowers (7th, 17:54) gave them a speed anchor, and Lillie Ybarra (listed 18:55), Emma Hubiak (19:11), Brooklyn Andrews (19:15), and Hailey Isbell (19:51) closed it out. The ~1:57 spread is looser than Marcus's but workable when your 1-4 are inside 19:15. If Hebron can pull the fifth runner 10-15 seconds closer at regionals, they become a much tougher out, especially with Dowers reliably scoring in the single digits in big fields.

Bottom line:

Flower Mound looked like Flower Mound with multiple low sticks, a ruthless pack, and displacement depth. Marcus advanced on discipline and compression, while Hebron rode a sharp front and a serviceable spread to hold off two programs with superstar No. 1s. Braswell and Coppell may have missed as teams, but their headline athletes (Wingard, Easterwood) project as region (and likely state) week fixtures.

Boys - Individual Qualifiers (not on the three advancing teams)

Flower Mound (Champions, 42 pts): The Jags won this meet with the exact profile you want heading into Region I-five under 16:00 and virtually no soft spots. Macias (15:16) supplied the low stick, Cano and Shemi were glued in the mid-15:40s, and Bennett/Iacomini shut the door inside 15:56. That's elite compression at pace, and their 3-5 runners looked especially composed over the final 1K.

Lewisville Hebron (Runner-up, 64 pts): Hebron's strength is its front four firing together. Brackston Lechleitner (15:42) pulled the group through, and Sams (15:48), Tripp Lechleitner (15:51), and Potts (15:52) stacked a deadly 2-4-5 team punch before the midpoint of the results page. If their fifth tightens the gap another ~10-15 seconds at regionals, they're in the title conversation.

Lewisville Marcus (Third, 71 pts): Marcus did Marcus things-two low sticks (Samuels 15:41, Lynch 15:43) and a deep, reliable pack (Johnston 16:14, Brown 16:19, van der Wal 16:23). They don't rely on a single star; instead, they grind down scoring with a disciplined middle that tends to move up in championship races. This travel-well profile is why they're dangerous in Lubbock.

Denton Guyer (4th, 86 pts): Guyer was the best non-qualifier by a whisker and had the individual champion in Newberry (14:47). The Wildcats put five in by 16:34 and had four inside 16:26; on many district days, that's good enough to advance. Their top four-Newberry, Tako, Jagtap, Bridges-made the chute feel very green and black; they'll be a factor individually at Region I.

Coppell (5th, 88 pts): Just two points back of Guyer and only 17 points off Marcus, the Cowboys showed real bite with a smooth 1-4 of 15:50/15:51/16:16/16:21. Add Kalpathy at 16:35 and you've got a credible region-level pack. With that many individual qualifiers, expect plenty of Cowboy singlets in the Region I scoring mix.
