The best runners from Shelby County got their chance to shine on the biggest stage at the 2023 AHSAA Class 7A Cross-Country State Championship, and many turned in their best times of the season on a fast course at Oakville Indian Mounds Park on Saturday, Nov. 11.
As the top talent from around the Southeast gathered for the Chickasaw Trails Invitational, area runners turned in some of the fastest times at the annual meet on Saturday, Sept. 9.
