The Carl Albert Titans cross country squad again showed great balance, winning its second championship in a row with the team championship at the ENDURO OKC Elite Meet at Bluff Creek Park last Saturday.

The Titans just missed having all five runners in the top 10, topped again by Camden Shaw, who took third place with a time of 18:17.04 over the very difficult 5K course. Right behind was Matt Moler, whose time was 18:39.04, good for fourth place.

The Titan JV squad, led by Shevrin Gray, picked up 43 points  for second place, just two points behind champion Yukon’s 41 points.

    Riley’s last name should be spelled Schoelen, she’s my granddaughter.
