North Stokes freshman Maddox Dillon and South Stokes senior Jessica Basurto each earned all-conference honors by placing 10th in their 5,000-meter races at the Greater Triad 1A/2A Conference Championship. South Davidson won the boys team title, while Bishop McGuinness claimed the girls crown.

By the Numbers
  • Dillon finished the boys race in 18:39.25.
  • Basurto finished the girls race in 25:52.48.
  • South Davidson won the boys title with 23 points; Bishop McGuinness scored 32.
  • Bishop McGuinness won the girls title with 17 points, ahead of South Davidson’s 44.
Yes, But

Neither North Stokes nor South Stokes had enough runners to score as a team, so their athletes competed as individuals. North Stokes junior John Tyler finished 11th, just outside the all-conference top 10.

What’s Next

Regional races are scheduled for Oct. 31. North Stokes will compete at the 1A West Regional at Fisher River Park, while South Stokes heads to the 2A Central Regional at Ivey Redmon Sports Complex.

Bottom Line

Dillon and Basurto delivered top-10 finishes for their schools, earning all-conference recognition and carrying that momentum into regional competition.
