FULTON Fulton s Kai Foster and Emery Mayfield won the individual conference titles, and they were among seven all-conference Hornets in the NCMC Cross Country Championships Saturday at Fulton High School.
COLUMBIA For a few minutes, ending a pair of nine-year droughts was within reach for the Blair Oaks Falcons.
It had been since 2014 when the Falcons last won a state trophy and had an individual state champion on the wrestling mat. But in the end, both streaks came up just barely out of reach.

The Falcons have matched up against several state-ranked individuals in multiple classes. It was all for one ultimate purpose: To be best prepared for the state tournament.
