The Indian boys, meanwhile, finished in a tie for sixth place in a field consisting of all five Lewisville ISD high schools as well as Lovejoy and Decatur.

Leading the way for WHS was senior Sebastian Calderon, who ran the race in 10 minutes, 21.9 seconds, setting a new school record for a cross-country 2-mile run. Calderon placed 15th among all individuals.
