For the first time in school history, the Clarendon Lady Bronco cross-country team is headed to the State meet in Austin next weekend.

Junior Audrey Shelton, who has had a stellar season on the course, will lead the team.

After advancing to state last year, Shelton finished third in this year’s Regional meet with a time of 12:25.  The Lady Broncos are currently ranked fifth in the state and have set themselves up to have a great run at the state meet.

Sarah Luttrell finished 24th with a time of 13:24, and Abby Johnson took 30th at 13:29.29.  Deborah Howard was right behind Johnson with a time of 29:56, and Trevela Dronzek was 44th at 13:41.  Haley Ferguson finished 47th with a time of 13:46, and Phara Berry was 64th with a time of 13:59.

Jessica Ceniceros and Maci White are also part of the cross-country team.  They are coached by Molly Weatherred and Shanna Shelton.

Coach Weatherred is very pleased with their accomplishments this year.

“I am very proud of these young ladies,” Weatherred said.  “They have worked extremely hard this year.”

Gruver won the meet with 30 points, and Sunray was second with 44 points.

Clarendon posted 105 points, and fourth place Sundown had 137 points.  Abrianna Carrasco from Sanderson was first at 12:15.97, and Shelley Gibson from Gruver was second at 12:23.32.

The ladies will run in Round Rock this Saturday, November 12, at 11:40 a.m. in Old Settlers Park.
