ARLINGTON — One hundred and eighty young men competed in the Region II Cross Country Meet Saturday morning at Vandergriff Park in Arlington, including a team representing Jacksonville High School.

The Indians found the going tough, finishing 22nd (24 teams entered), but no doubt gained valuable experience that can only serve to make them better in the future.

Frisco Liberty took the team title with 86 points followed by Highland Park (92) and Cleburne with 123 points.

Cleburne’s Tyler Chappell crossed the finish line first in a time of 15:22.8. with Jonathan Frausto being the highest placing Indian runner (102th place, 18:14.5).

Ramirez’s final time was 14:07.8 with Highland Park’s Sara Sutherland crossing the wire first (11:29.6).

Highland Park took the team title with 31 points with Frisco coming in second (87) and McKinney (117) third.

Long distance runners from Bullard High School ran in the Class 3A, Region III Regional Meet in Humble, also held Saturday morning.

Amber Moore (Longview Spring Hill) won the race in a time of 11:38.0 with Bullard’s Bailee Callens leading the Lady Panther contingent. Callens stopped the timer at 12:38.5, which put her in 19th place.
