Despite miserable weather conditions, Northwest Whitfield turned in a solid performance Saturday at the Chickamauga Dam in a Chattanooga Cross Country League meet, with the Bruins finishing 10th among a 31-team field and the Lady Bruins taking seventh out of 21 teams.
McCallie won in boys competition and St. Pius in girls.
“It poured the entire time,” Northwest coach Tom Sell said. “But I was pleased with the boys because there wasn’t a single senior out there. And the girls ran great, very strong.”
The Bruins were led on the 5-kilometer course by Jordan Jones, who finished 26th overall with a time of 18:55, Brody Cook (30th, 19:10), Brandon Harris (19:51, 52nd), Nathan Ward (20:28, 86th), Blake Phillips (113th, 21:08), Parker Cook (115th, 21:11) and Connor Wilson (126th, 21:26).
Shelby Wilson (21st, 22:53) led the Lady Bruins, followed by Jenna Williams (42nd, 23:59), Maggie Kalafut (53rd, 24:24), Kayla Griffin (70th, 24:50), Emily Musto (82nd, 25:30), Natalie Williams (84th, 25:35) and Kaitlyn Wade (113th, 27:07).
• At the Paulding County Invitational, Dalton’s boys took third while the Lady Catamounts took fourth in a 13-team meet held at Taylor Farm Park in Powder Springs.
Andrew Bruner led the Catamounts (fifth, 17:58), while Chris Pineda (11th, 18:15), Fernando Morales (12th, 18:16), Jonathan Hernandez (18:36), Preston Pound (18:57), Grant Snyder (19:44) and Andrew O’Neill (23:50) also competed.
The Lady Cats were led by Carina Nieto (second, 21:00), with Meral Henton (third, 21:11), Bekah Houston (10th, 21:57), Paxton Plunkett (23rd, 23:15), Reagan Fromm (24:35), Katarina Yi (24:40) and Melanie Lipscomb (26:25) also competing.
In junior varsity action, Jillian Lidderdale finished 11th with a time of 24:52.

A shared success
(Misty Watson/The Daily Citizen) Dalton High’s Dante Thomas, left, and Caylor Summers, second from right, are congratulated by fellow senior Catamounts Scott Abernathy, second from left, and Tre Bonds. Thomas and Summers both had signing ceremonies in the Dalton High commons on Wednesday. Thomas, a defensive back, will play at Carson-Newman. Summers, who served as a manager the past three seasons, received a scholarship to fill the same role at Jacksonville State.
Dalton High’s Caylor Summers hasn’t been on the football field as a player since he was a freshman, becoming a team manager when injuries forced him to give up the game. The Catamounts’ Danté Thomas was such a shutdown defensive back in his final two seasons, most opposing coaches didn’t want their players on his part of the field.
