Her Lady Cats finished seventh. The girls meet was won by the Thomasville High School Lady Bulldogs.
The Bearcats were led by Chase Harris, who finished second in the 246-runner 5,000-meter (3.1-mile) run, in a time of 16 minutes, 50.87 seconds.

The top spot in the boys field was captured by Josh Mason of Albany’s Westover High School Patriots, who finished in a time of 16:39.13.
The Lady Cats were led by Paige Braswell, who was second overall in a time of 21:17.94. Her sister Amber Braswell was fourth, with a time of 21:42.48.
