Hilton Head High’s cross country teams swept the Region 7-4A titles in dominant fashion Saturday.
The Seahawk boys won the team title with a perfect score of 15 points, as the first 10 runners to cross the line represented Hilton Head High.
Logan Seifert led the way, winning the individual title with a 5K time of 17:17, one second ahead of teammate Max Baez. Will LeMire (17:34), Hayden Bird (17:49), and Eduardo Gonzales (17:51) also cracked the 18-minute mark for the Seahawks to round out the top five.
Beaufort High was without its top four runners, who competed in the Cici’s Derby in Camden.
Hilton Head High’s girls were nearly as dominant as the boys, claiming five of the top 10 spots. Sarah Neville won the individual title with a time of 19:18, 36 seconds ahead of Beaufort High’s Charlize Antia (19:54).
Hilton Head High’s Sarah Cooke (20:39) and Cynthia Gudaitis (20:43) were next across the line, followed by Bluffton’s Ava Gerschutz (20:44) in fifth and the Seahawks’ Steffi Martin (20:58) in sixth. Anna Brown (21:20) finished seventh to lead Beaufort High.
The Class 4A Lower State meet is scheduled for Nov. 9 in Darlington.
