Cross country: Dragons win respective regional titles
By Justin Thomas, firstname.lastname@example.com
Last season, Hebron cross country runner Robert Domanic advanced all the way to the UIL Class 5A State State Championships despite not winning a gold medal at either his district or regional meet.
In 2012, Domanic will again be headed to state, but this time he will make his trip as the District 5-5A and Region I champion.
Domanic took top honors Saturday at Mae Simmons Park in Lubbock (14:41.90), finishing well ahead of El Paso Franklin's Brian Barraza (14:52.80). Southlake Carroll's Joe Sansone - who earned first at regionals last year - claimed the bronze medal. Marcus will also be heading to Round Rock for a second consecutive year after finishing second with Flower Mound and Hebron in seventh and eighth, respectively.
The top three teams as well as individuals that place in the top 10 from non-qualifying programs advance to state Saturday at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock.
While the Dragons did not procure an individual district title, Carroll took first on the strength of four top-eight runs. Following Sansone was Nate Sullivan in fourth (14:59.20), Connor Hendrickson in seventh (15:15.60), Trevor Gilley in eighth (15:24.70), Jacob Pickle in 20th (15:41.50), Eli Canal in 21st (15:46.00) and Alec Garner in 39th (16:07.00).
The rest of the Hawks lineup featured James Bodnar in 17th (15:39.50), Chase Von Voorhis in 67th (16:33.00), Andrew Clark in 84th (16:49.40), Brady Andrew in 105th (17:05.20) and Michael Summers in 109th (17:08.30).
Coppell's Carson Vickroy competed after finishing fourth at district and took 38th in Lubbock (16:06.70).
Courtney Krieghauser and Shelby Chapin picked up medals for the Lady Dragons as the pair finished in second and third, respectively. Last year, Chapin won the region en route to a sixth-place finish at state. Krieghauser, meanwhile, won silver at state last season and took third at regionals.
Rounding out the Carroll runners were Antigone Archer in ninth (17:47.20), Elena Arriaza in 11th (17:49.20), Madison Keen in 17th (18:27.20), Katie Burnham in 18th (18:28.90) and Taylor Ullman in 36th (19:13.10).
Megan Montgomery crossed the line in fifth for the Lady Hawks (17:43.30), with Alondra Hoyos in 10th (17:47.50), Anna Elkin in 31st (19:05.00), Stefani Doyle in 34th (19:11.90), Rachel Jones in 41st (19:16.00), Lauren Halliday in 63rd (19:39.80) and Caroline Paulette in 104th (20:24.20).
At the 4A level, The Colony's boys and girls as well as Newman Smith's boys competed at the Region II Championships at Vandergriff Park in Arlington.
The Trojans (160) and Cougars (168) finished fourth and fifth, respectively, while the Lady Cougars placed sixth (157). Highland Park won team titles for both boys (84) and girls (69).
Individually, Blake Anderson procured a silver medal for the Cougars (15:44.70), while Smith's Daniel Debes will also be headed to state after finishing 10th (16:05.50).
The rest of the Cougars included Martin Mirzaie in 32nd (16:37.90), Brandon Rojo in 33rd (16:38.10), Gregory Vasquez in 61st (17:11.00), Glenn Gress in 76th (17:28.50), Hector Larin in 103rd (17:56.10) and Samuel Steele in 114th (18:16.40).
For Smith, Jeffrey Moore placed 12th (16:12.30) with Gerson Lagunez in 48th (16:55.30), Kevin Debes in 62nd (17:12.40), Ricardo Salinas in 68th (17:20.40), Rolando Bueno De La Cruz in 96th (17:49.80) and Luis Cabello in 113th (18:15.10).
Olivia Brookshire was the top finisher for the Lady Cougars in 28th (19:51.10) with Elisabeth Richins in 31st (19:56.10), Emily Casper in 32nd (19:57.80), Victoria Avila in 40th (20:18.60), Elizabeth Tubbs in 52nd (20:30.80), Sara Brashears in 70th (21:03.30) and Jennifer Labrada in 72nd (21:04.50).
