Despite local cross country teams having some small roster numbers, they are still managing to do big things this season. Benjamin Russell, Dadeville and Horseshoe Bend will all have representatives at Saturday’s AHSAA Cross Country Championships in Oakville.

Seniors Reginald Sweetwyne and Layton Bradford will end their high school careers on a high note as they both advanced in Class 6A. At the Section 3 meet on Friday, Sweetwyne placed 15th overall by finishing in 17:45.30 and Bradford was just outside the top 20. He clocked in at 18:08.68, good enough for 22nd place.
