What an outstanding year it was for Argyle High School cross country. The Lady Eagles and Eagles both produced memorable seasons.

The Lady Eagles earned a berth to the University Interscholastic League Class 4A state meet in Round Rock in late November after a fantastic finish at the Region I meet. The Lady Eagles, who won the District 7-A championship, finished third at the region meet in Lubbock to qualify for state in back-to-back seasons.

The Lady Eagles were led at the Region I meet by senior Alli Johnson, who placed fifth overall. Junior Amaris McCasland, freshman Maura Journagan, sophomore Priscilla Husby, and sophomore Avery Doyle all earned top-30 finishes. Sophomore Avery Junk and freshman Sophia Sanchez also joined the team in Round Rock to compete for a medal position. The Lady Eagles are led by coach Greg Martin.

It was also a very successful season for the Eagles. They also earned a District 7-4A championship and knocked off two-time defending state champion Decatur in the process. The district title marked the first for the boys’ program since 2012.

At the Region I meet, the Eagles qualified two individual runners for the Class 4A state meet. Junior Mason White and freshman Tyler Westrom led the Eagles to a fourth-place team finish, and both qualified and represented Argyle individually at the state meet. The Eagles finished two points shy of a state berth. The Eagles are led by coach Lance Sutton.
