SOMERVELL COUNTY (Octobre 12, 2017) — It wasn’t the tracks of enormous beings centuries extinct that were causing the double-takes at Dinosaur Valley State Park Thursday, but those of a team of Yellow Jackets intent on keeping their 2017 season very much alive.
Stephenville surprised many with a second-place finish in the District 8-4A Cross Country Championships despite the absence of their No. 3 runner.
Three Yellow Jacket harriers dashed across the 3-mile course in the top 10 and the team’s No. 4 and No. 5 runners were among the first 25 across the line, separating themselves from every team besides Waxahachie.
The third-place Honeybees are also on to regionals. A tight girls race was won by Glen Rose on its home course, though that course was changed from its traditional layout, limiting fan visibility in an effort to protect native flowers.
