Cross Country Teams Take 1st & 2nd In Region Championships!!!
The Cross Country teams competed in the Region II-AA Championships last Wednesday at Patriot's Park in Sumter and performed very well. The girls finished second in the team standings behind Northside Christian. Addison Hewitt led the Lady Eagles with a 3rd place finish and was joined in the top 10 by Ella Banks (5th) and Tabitha Hewitt (6th). The boys team was crowned as Region Champions with an exciting 32-33 victory over Thomas Sumter. As the runners were coming to the finish, there was a feeling that the team scores would be extremely close. In reality, the team championship was epitomized by Thomas Patrick beating a runner from TSA by 1 foot! Hans Payne earned the title of Individual Region Champion with a time of 17:19. Three other Eagles joined him in the top 10: Ethan Gawryluk (4th), Gabe Moser (7th), and Thomas Patrick (9th).
Addison Hewitt, Ella Banks, Tabitha Hewitt, Hans Payne, Ethan Gawryluk, and Gabe Moser were all named to the All-Region team. Congratulations Eagles!
