The LHSAA Division IV Region 1 Cross Country Meet was held in Bossier City, LA, on November 6th, with Quitman High School winning the girls division and the boys coming in third. As a result of their tremendous finish, both the girls’ and boys’ teams qualified for the state meet that will be held at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA, later this month. 

The superb performance by the girls’ team, which won the title by turning in a low aggregate score of 43, far outpacing second-place Anacoco, which finished with 64 points, was paced by all five ladies who counted in the scoring, finishing in the top 25, including four who placed in the top ten. 

Leading the charge for the Lady Wolverines was Megan Kelley, who finished in 4th place, followed closely by Kaleigh King (7th place), Audrina Martin (8th place), and Addie Faber (9th place), with Anna Pardue completing the three-mile circuit in 21st place among the 63 runners. Additional team members eligible for state competition are Teyton Naron, Syerra Lewis, and Lindsey Woods.

Congratulations also go to the boys’ cross country team for placing 3rd at Regionals, led by a strong 5th place finish by Gage Horton. Three other Wolverines turned in top twenty performances as well, with Luke Sims coming in 15th place, Josiah Ramsey in 17th, and Carson Savana checking in at 20th place among 73 runners. Also on the boys team qualifying for state are Jayden Harts, James Brown, Sean Henry, Hayden David, and Hunter McCormick.
