The Mountain Brook High School Cross Country Track Team opened the season in impressive fashion, sweeping both the boys’ and girls’ varsity team titles at the Thompson Warrior Two Mile on Thursday, August 28.
“It was a great start to our season.” remarked head coach Michael McGovern. “We are ahead of where we were this time last year and are looking forward to racing in our first 5k this weekend.”
The boys’ team placed five runners in the top 15 to finish with just 33 points, well ahead of runner-up Oak Mountain (81) and Homewood (89). Strong pack running from the Spartans secured the win, with finishes at 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 14th place.
The girls’ team was even more dominant, scoring a nearly perfect 26 points. Mountain Brook claimed four of the top five individual spots, finishing 1st, 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 10th to secure the victory. Thompson was a distant second with 95 points, followed by Vestavia Hills (112).
The results showcase Mountain Brook’s depth and early-season strength, positioning both the boys and girls squads as contenders in what promises to be another exciting cross country campaign.
