“These boys have been working hard all season, and it showed again today,” Bell County coach Jason Stewart said. “I felt like all of the boys ran a smart race plan today and it helped the team place fourth in a loaded field.

“Our girls competed hard today. I thought they ran well. This was the first race back for Sophia Good, who had been out for medical reasons, so the girls and myself were excited about that.”
