Moving up a classification from 3A to 4A didn’t seem to bother the Providence Christian cross country teams nor did sloppy weather conditions at Saturday’s AHSAA State Championships at Oakville
The Providence Christian girls held off city rival Houston Academy to win a third straight state title, while the Eagle boys, despite losing two-time individual state champion Conner Patterson to graduation, repeated as champion in dominating fashion.
After strong performances the last two years in Class 3A, Providence Christian moved up to 4A in the latest reclassification because of the AHSAA competitive balance formula. “Houston Academy ran lights out today. They really did,” Carter said. “We were excited for them. They made us sweat. It is great that two Dothan teams finished one-two.”
Carter said Talmadge, a sophomore, did a good job of keeping a good pace and not falling down the standings to a lower finish and lose team points by chasing Conn. Carter noted some of the times weren’t as good as the runners wanted as rain created muddy conditions as the day wore during the 12-race championship day. The PCS and HA girls were part of the fifth race of the day.
