The JV girls also won first place in their race with four girls in the top 10.

The girls team in also currently ranked fifth in 5A and sixth overall in the state.

In the Warpath Invitational, Jessica Muse ran a very strong race and finished third in 20:26, while all of her varsity teammates raced the course in very fast times to capture first for the Hornets. Christina Dooley, Devon King, Alma McCarty, Sally Kirklewski, Ridley Green and Whitney Sweet all finished in the top 30.

The girl's team is young, with only one senior, Ridley Green in the top seven and two other seniors, Audrey Inman, and Annie Neurhr in the top 10.

In the JV race, Carli Oster ran away from most of the field to finish second in the race and led the JV girls' team to victory.

Next Saturday, the boys' and girls' teams travel to Pensacola, Fla., to run in the Gulf Coast Stampede. There the girls will meet some of the best teams in Florida, one of the best teams in Alabama, as well as a great Georgia school, Alpharetta, in another test of their team.
