Titan XC Update - Sept 8, 2008

PRE-REGION
What a difference a year makes. In 2007, the Titan boys were last in the 8-team race. This year, they finished 2nd behind defending 5A Champion Davis. The times over the 2.0 mile course averaged about 1:30 faster than last year. Austin Costley (8th, 10:54), Jake Rossmango (13th, 11:06), Preston Williams (16th, 11:11), Tyrell Pearce (26th, 11:31) and Phillip Helms (29th, 11:32) led the Titan scoring. Kyle Kelly (12:09) and Brandon Yardley (12:11) rounded out the varsity squad.
The girls were equally impressive finishing 4th, only 12 points from 2nd. The Williams sisters led the way with Hannah finishing 6th in 12:50 and McKayla 7th in 12:53. Abby Rich (17th, 13:38), Mikelann Wilcox (34th, 14:50) and Aubrey Eddy (36th, 15:06) were the other scorers for the Lady Titans.
In J.V. action, CJ Scothern was the top finisher in the boys running 12:40.

Again, the Williams sisters were very impressive. Hannah covered the extremely tough course in 23:19 to finish 7th. McKayla’s 23:42 was good enough for 10th.
