Despite rarely fielding a complete team, Lampasas used a pair of impressive district meet showings to advance two harriers to the regional meet at Brooks City-Base in San Antonio over the weekend.

Senior Tiffany Fagg placed 123rd overall with a time of 14:03.1, and Ashley Moore finished moments later (14:09.7), placing 131st out of 188 runners.

“The parents of all [the cross country team members] deserve a pat on the back for their sacrifices in getting them there for our 6:30 a.m. workouts,” head coach Trent Lancaster said.

Boerne Champion and New Braunfels Canyon claimed the top two team finishes, respectively.

Emily Perez, of La Joya Juarez- Lincoln, posted the top individual perfomance, completing the twomile course in 11:39.8. Medina Valley’s Michelle Jones finished second with a time of 11:44.8, edging out Alexandra Alvizo (11:55.4).

Boerne Champion also won the Class 4A boys’ regional crown.
