Northern Nash was the favorite going into Saturday's Eastern Regional cross country championships on their home course at Red Oak Middle and there was no doubt that the Knights are the best in the East and have earned the right to run the the state championship next weekend. They win the 3A Eastern Regional Cross Country Championships.
Probably the only disappointment on the day is no Knight won the indivual title but that was not needed when all five Knight runners finished in the top 22 runners led by senior Daniel Belton who ran the 3.1 miles in 16:06. Seniors Stephen Whitehead 5th running 16:20 and Coleman Cherry 6th ran a 16:25. Two freshmen made sure the Knights brought home the biggest trophy as ninth graders Jordan Richardson 17:01 finished 17th and running fifth in 22nd was Tyric Hill.
Hoping for and outside shot to make the state championship meet both Rocky Mount Girls and Northern go home disappointed as Rocky Mount ran 6th and Northern Nash 8th but you have to finish in top four teams to qualify for the state.
Another disappointed team is Rocky Mount's Brenna Bryant-Chandler Brice who lost in the 3A doubles tennis championship semi finals to the Terry Sanford's Huda McGraw- Sophia McGraw. 6-2 - 6-1. Bryant and Brice will be back in action Monday at 4pm when they will be joined by the rest of their teammates in the third round of the 3A duels. They will take on Union Pines from Cameron.
Hunt finished the Big East boys soccer season 10-0 and the regular season champions. Fike and Southern Nash were 7-3 in conferences games finished tied for second.
Campbell won their first Big South Cross Country championship Saturday. Former Gryphon Mason Holt a junior was named to the Big South All Academic team.
