MOBILE, Alabama — It was a sweet sweep for the Toros cross-country teams at the 5A Section 1, Site A championships at Langan Park Thursday. The top three teams advance to the state meet as do some unattached individuals with qualifying times.

Spanish Fort’s Girls won for the first time in school history at the sectional level and did it over long-time repeat champion St. Paul’s by a convincing margin of 22-40. The Lady Dolphins of Gulf Shores then took third with a solid differential of 80-95 over perennial contender Faith Academy, said SF head coach Michael Rauch.

Lady Toros Carissa Jones, Hannah Frain, Olivia Smith, Caroline Vegas and Sophie Bengel all made the Top 10.

St. Paul’s senior Anna Braswell was the fastest girl of the day with a winning time of 19:48.58, but Toro middle school runner Carissa Jones’ second-place time for Spanish Fort of 20:57.23 would also have taken second in the Class 6A girls race behind Baker’s Carsandra Pickens’ 20:40.16.

The Spanish Fort Boys then won the 5A Sectional Meet over St. Paul’s  by a margin of three hard-fought points 33-36. Satsuma finished third to make state with an 89-99 score over Faith’s Rams.

“These two teams have been going back and forth as the best boys team in the area, all divisions,” Rauch said. “This is the first time our boys have won since 2009.”

Cooper Sewell, Will Kent, Jack Morgan and Kevin Jones turned in Top 10 times to help the Toros charge by the Saints for the overall win.

Former Toro Reece Stevens won the 5A boys race in 17:24.05, Leith Rawson of Satsuma was second in 17:35.01 and Sewell was third at 17:39.06 for Spanish Fort’s best time. Stevens’ winning 5A time was the fastest boys time of the day by 9.07 seconds.

With their sectional sweep, both SFHS teams earned their spot in the Alabama Cross Country State Championships which will be held Saturday morning at the Jesse Owens Indian Mounds Park near Moulton, AL. Individual qualifiers from Baldwin County included Gulf Shores’s Bryce Furhmann.

Baker’s Hornets swept the 6A Section 1, Site A titles as the girls out ran Murphy 23-45 and Mary G. Montgomery left fourth to Davidson 88-105. Baker’s boys won decisively over MGM 18-47 and Davidson beat Theodore 78-117.

Baker’s Collin Wood won the 6A boys title with a 17:33.12 finish to beat teammate Collin Reusser by about 16 seconds (17:48.96).
