The Dragon won with 18 total points as they finished in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th positions. Connor Hendrickson led the Dragons, followed by Nate Sullivan (15:23), Alec Garner (15:50), Jacob Pickle (15:52) and Trevor Gilley (15:57).

“After several weeks of training without racing, it was great for the team to come out to this course and put on a good performance,” Carroll cross country coach Justin Leonard said. “The focus is on progression to the meets that really count.”

The Carroll cross country teams will train next weekend and before competing at the Nike South at Bear Branch Park in The Woodlands.
