The Highland Park boys and girls each won team titles in the 5A-6A division at the Lovejoy Fall Festival cross country meet on Saturday in McKinney.
Behind four personal-record times, the Scots ran to the title with the team of Tyler Mead, Jack Alessio, Charlie Philbin, Reese Hathaway, Matthew Lippman, John Moss, and Aali Furqan.
Besides the lower-division title, the Lady Scots placed sixth among 19 teams in the elite varsity girls division. Sophia Oliai was seventh in the individual standings with a personal-best time of 18 minutes, 30 seconds for the 5-kilometer course. Cameron Fawcett was in 20th place. The seven-runner squad posted six personal-best times.
Both squads will compete on Saturday at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, which also is the site of the state meet in November.
