Region 4-AAA

After a third-place finish at the Region 4-AAA Championships at Clinton Nature Preserve, the Central High School boys cross country team will compete next week at the state championships on the Carrollton City Schools campus.

The Lions were led by Josh Redmond's 13th-place finish, as they were able to qualify as a team.

While the girls did not qualify as a team, Anna Leah Deese's 20:43.42 finish was good enough for fourth place overall and an individual trip to the state meet.

The Villa Rica High School girls and boys cross country teams competed at the Region 5-AAAAA Championships at White Oak Park in Dallas on Saturday afternoon.

While the girls just missed qualifying as a team, finishing fifth — the top four teams continue to state — one Lady Wildcat runner will race at Carrollton next Saturday. Abbigayle Mathis took sixth place overall with a time of 20:06 to qualify individually.

Behind Mathis was Haley Parham (20:43.10) in 11th, while Angerika Colbert (22:36.90), Miranda Brown (22:45.20) and Melissa Conchas (22:52.70) finished one right after another taking 32nd, 33rd and 34th, respectively.
