Alabama XC Races Heat Up | Birmingham News

Alabama’s high school cross country scene exploded with thrilling races last week, as teams battled fiercely across state lines. Prattville Christian narrowly edged out Prattville High, while Lincoln High and Fort Payne dominated the Southside/Rainbow Invitational. Homewood and Auburn claimed top honors at Chickasaw Trails, and Hartselle’s Grace Goldman shattered state records. Tennessee schools Farragut and Lakeway Christian lit up Georgia’s Saturday Night Lights, while Scottsboro’s Ryder Linville and Keyton Allen led a Florida win at the Gulf Coast Stampede. With more meets this week — including Black Creek, Minor Invitational, Lake Jackson Run, and Bessemer Academy — the action heats up again this weekend at Daphne Invitational, Southern Showcase, and the Wingfoot XC Classic in Georgia.
