LHS Region II Championship Race Data

13-Oct-2026

General Notes

• both the girls and boys varsities qualified for the UIL State Championships on Saturday, 07-Nov
• one of the best weather running days of the season
• new Region II course in Fort Worth seemed fast relative to the other 3 regions

5A Girls

place	team	conf	rank	score	finish order	avg time	1-5 split
1	Highland Park	5A	#1	43	1-2-4-11-24 (34-36)	18:27.1	1:28.6
2	Lovejoy	5A	#3	52	3-7-10-14-18 (20-61)	18:36.4	1:00.5
3	Melissa	5A	#7	111	9-15-23-24-40 (114-X)	19:19.4	1:41.9
4	Grapevine	5A	#8	123	8-19-21-37-38 (46-48)	19:28.0	1:45.3

Notes:

• [results]
• a two-team race for the championship with HP eaking out the victory
• no team had a split time under 1:00; Lovejoy was the closest at 60.5 secopnd while HP was up at 88.6 seconds; if HP is to be beat at State it will be due to split times
• all of the Region II teams qualifying for State are CCCAT-ranked
• looking at the other Region results, the State Championship should again come down to HP and Lovejoy with College Station Consolidated, Georgetown and maybe New Braunfels in the mix
• Lovejoy girls have now qualified for State for 8 years in a row; this is a big deal when you consider that from 2012 through 2018 (pre-Carly) the girls did not qualify out of Region
• top-10 medals/awards for Armstrong, L Thomas
• 23 teams (not 24 teams) and 169 finishers in the race; North Mesquite only had 3 runners race/finish, so no team score

5A Boys

place	team	conf	rank	score	finish order	avg time	1-5 split
1	Dallas Wilson	5A	#8	75	3-7-16-18-31 (62-95)	15:51.1	1:09.2
2	Grapevine	5A	#1	80	11-14-15-19-21 (22-34)	16:00.7	0:17.0
3	Lovejoy	5A	#3	98	1-12-13-26-46 (59-66)	15:59.2	1:47.2
4	Midlothian Heritage	5A	#7	149	5-23-28-40-53 (69-86)	16:16.1	1:38.8

Notes:

• [results]
• Region Champion Tristan Arceneau (14:58.4) finished 2nd at Region last year
• Lovejoy boys qualify for State for the 19th year in a row going all the way back to 2008
• quality 1-5 split times turned in by Grapvine (17.0 seconds — ridiculous) and Colleyville Heritage (but not good enough to qualify them for State)
• all of the Region II teams qualifying for State are CCCAT-ranked
• of the 16 teams qualifying for State across all 4 of the Region Championships, 4 of the top 5 come from Region II (based on today's Region finishes)
• looking at the other Region results, a virtual meet of the State Championship shows Lovejoy finishing just off the podium; but our guys are projected to be oh-so close to a top-3 finish
• 24 teams and 175 finishers in the race

LHS Girls XC — District Recap

18-Oct-2026

Our girls put on a show at the District Championship last Tuesday in both the JV and Varsity divisions! It was fun to see the girls' months of hard work pay off!

The Varsity team went into the race knowing we had to be ready for the Melissa squad — they are also a top 10 ranked team. (currently ranked #5)

Emily got out strong and dominated the race from start to finish. Leila has been getting stronger with each race, and she continued that streak by beating all 3 Melissa girls and taking the 2nd spot. Talia, Lily Stabile and Lily Fogle ran strong from start to finish and broke up Melissa's very strong trio of runners. They executed the race plan perfectly. Bronwyn and Morgan rounded off the 7 with solid races and beating the runners we needed them to beat. Overall ... this team looks very strong and solid and will move on to the Regional Championship on October 27th where we will get to go head to head with HP for the first time this season!

Varsity

• Emily Armstrong - District Champion, District MVP, All-District Team
• Leila Thomas - District Runner-up, District Newcomer, All-District Team
• Talia Orshalick - 5th, All-District Team

LHS Girls XC — Byron Nelson Recap

04-Oct-2026

WE HAD A GREAT MEET ON SATURDAY MORNING! So many girls have improved drastically over the past 6 months, and this is the time of year it starts to show. Leila Thomas and Bronwyn Vaughan both broke the 19 minute mark for the first time (in a full 5k) which is a very big deal! Kara Ryan led our JV team and ran 21 flat to earn her varsity letter and qualify for NXR!! Harper Dixon also had a huge PR running 21:36! I am grateful to the Byron Nelson coaches for hosting this meet last minute to give our kids the opportunity to compete on a fast course in some amazing weather!

ONCE AGAIN - A BIG THANK YOU to ALLLLLLLL of the people who chipped in to make Fall Fest possible. There were so many people — parents, kids, middle school kids and parents everywhere on the course, cleaning up, working the chute, hospitality, concessions, and on and on. Coach Kelly and I appreciate the support and HARD WORK that you put into this program and this meet!

Also - very proud of our kids for, once again, stepping up to clean up afterward. They are the BEST OF THE BEST.

We had a great day with a lot of great races! We had some happy runners! This time of year is fun because the kids start to see all of their summer work and continued training pay off as they get stronger with every race. We are 3 weeks away from the District Championship where we plan to, once again, dominate the competition!!

The Elite and JV divisions both took 3rd place yesterday while the open Varsity division (with only 5 girls) took the TEAM WIN!!!

Time Trial Race Data

01-Aug-2026

Note: in lieu of writing a lengthy article on each LHS meet, this season the photography staff will be providing key data on race results for each meet. This approach has worked well for the WSMS meets the past few seasons.

The data for the Time trial is atypical of an XC meet (only one race, no other teams, etc.). Readers will get a better feel for this approach with results data from the upcoming Rock Hill meet.
