Three area cross country teams claimed their respective sectional crowns on Thursday, while numerous local runners — including four sectional champions — also qualified for next week’s state meet following terrific performances on the trails.

Cold Springs swept the titles at the Class 1A/2A, Section 2 meet, while St. Bernard’s boys notched their 10th consecutive sectional championship with a dominant showing at the Class 3A, Section 4 meet.

Holly Pond’s boys (second) and girls (fourth) advanced to the state meet for a fifth straight season, while Cullman’s girls (second), Vinemont’s boys (second), Cullman’s boys (third) and Fairview’s boys (third) will also make the trip.

Reagan Parris (Cold Springs), Ethan Edgeworth (Cold Springs), Andrue Barnett (Cullman) and Ethan Lemons (Vinemont), meanwhile, won their respective races.

The top four squads in each sectional — as well as the top six runners not tied to those teams — advance to the state meet, which will take place next Saturday at the Oakville Indian Mounds. See below for a complete breakdown of each local program’s sectional performance and state qualifiers. Only the top five runners are provided for advancing squads, though they’ll be represented by up to 10 runners at the state competition.
