Northern Nash swept the Big East 5A/6A conference team titles, extending its boys’ championship streak to 15 years. Rocky Mount’s Tayquan Alston won the boys’ individual race, while Southern Nash’s Brooklyn Rice repeated as girls’ champion.

By the Numbers
  • Alston finished the 3.1-mile course in 17:56; Rice won in 21:16.
  • Northern Nash scored 20 points in the boys’ race and 34 in the girls’ race.
  • The Northern Nash boys placed five runners in the top eight.
Yes, But

Alston and Rice claimed individual crowns, but their teams didn’t win the team titles: Rocky Mount lacked enough runners to score, and Southern Nash finished second in both team races.

Bottom Line

Northern Nash’s depth delivered a two-title sweep, while Alston and Rice stood out as the day’s individual champions.
