The Charles Henderson boys cross country team defeated Carroll High School in Ozark

Tuesday 21-34 (low score wins in cross country.) The Trojans’ Deandra Carlisle finished first, completing the scenic 3.2 mile run in a time of 19:42. Other Trojans who ran well on a course that followed the shores of Dale County’s Lizenbey Lake were Bill Chinberg, 3rd; Scott Stetson, 4th;John Money, 5th; Bubba Ash, 8th; Spencer Salmon, 9th and Bart Wallace, 10th.

Emily Watkins finished first in the girls race in a time of 24:14.

Coach Rick Stetson said, "Emily improves every time she puts on her running shoes."

Watkins, a senior, is the only girl running cross country this fall for Henderson High and is competing in the sport for the first time. She is a veteran, however, on the Lady Trojans softball team.

Stetson said, "Emily is a natural runner. She has great self-discipline and is not afraid to work hard at practice. I am very proud of what she has accomplished so far this season."

The Trojans next cross country meet will be at home Tuesday, Oct 17th.
