The Lady Chiefs Fenna Hollo topped all competition in the girls 5K at last Wednesday’s cross country 6AAAAA Region Championships at the NMB Sports Complex.
Hollo won the best of the region title as she finished first in her race with a time of 18:24.09, beating the second-place runner by over one minute when she crossed the finish line. She also ran faster than every region male runner except for the top ten finishers in their race.
Robyn Walsh finished the girls race in eighth place and her sister Ravyn finished eleventh. They both joined Hollo on the all-region team. Lucy Stalvey finished in twelfth place. Lane Tuite was thirtieth.
St. James won the team competition with 44 points. Socastee took second place with 52 points and the Chiefs were third with 61 points.
In the boys race that followed, Conway easily won the region title with 24 points and four runners finishing in the top five positions, with Tripp Inabnit taking first place by .07 seconds. St. James was second and Carolina Forest third in the team races. The Chiefs finished sixth. Jeremani Forant- Bernard was the best finisher for North Myrtle Beach in thirteenth place.
The top runners and teams will be in Newberry on Friday for the 5A State Qualifiers Meet.
