Cold Springs’ Ethan Edgeworth and Vinemont’s Ethan Lemons dusted their respective divisions at the Oakville Indian Mounds on Saturday en route to becoming state champions.
Edgeworth turned in a blistering time of 15:53.26 — more than a minute faster than the next runner — to take home his third straight state title and help the Eagles earn the Class 1A/2A crown — their first since 2019.
Cold Springs (44) finished ahead of Hatton (64).
Jayden Allred (second), Sage Nelson (11th), Justin Caffee (15th) and Josiah Walker (18th) also contributed counting times for the Blue and Gold.
Lemons, meanwhile, closed out his fantastic prep career on the trails with a speedy 16:05.90 — nearly 50 seconds ahead of the runner-up — to notch the Class 3A crown.
Cold Springs’ girls weren’t able to snag their third consecutive state championship, instead finishing runner-up to St. Luke’s.
