Local cross country teams were busy over this past week, as squads from both the middle and high school levels took to the course for two meets in as many days.

Representatives from Carlinville and North Mac competed at the St. John Invite in Carrollton Sept. 14, then joined Southwestern’s competitors at Oak Hills for the North Mac Invitational Sept. 16.

At Carrollton, Carlinville’s Elyse Eldred took home first place in the high school girls’ race. The Carlinville middle school teams additionally picked up victories, with the boys defeating Wood River and the girls conquering Franklin.

After placing runner-up at the St. John Invite, Carlinville’s Laney Owsley ran a 14:37 two-mile race to win the North Mac middle school girls’ competition. Southwestern senior Emma Wyman won the high school girls’ race with a time of 19:57. The Carlinville middle school boys outpaced Carrollton St. John in the team standings.
