The Marjory Stoneman Douglas cross country teams made school history this season, with both the boys and girls qualifying for the State Championships. It is the first time the Eagles have done so in the same year.
The postseason started at the District Championships at South County Regional Park. The girls finished fourth and the boys fifth. Noa Nierman led the girls with a 16th-place finish, and Robert Martone led the boys in 12th place.
At Regionals, the girls finished fifth overall and the boys took seventh, earning both teams a trip to states. Emilia Anzures posted the girls’ fastest time, followed by Nierman and Antonella Dominguez. Martone was the top boys finisher again, placing 39th, while Kaden Kirkpatrick took 42nd.
The state meet begins Thursday, Nov. 19, in Tallahassee. Both squads will be looking to extend a season that the school has not seen before.
