The Burnet High School cross-country teams competed at the McGregor Invitational on Oct. 10. The Bulldogs won the boys varsity division, while the Lady Dawgs were second in the girls varsity division. 

BURNET HIGHLIGHTS

  • The boys were paced by Hudson Bennett, who was the race champion in 16 minutes and 12 seconds. Teammate Andy Urista was second in 16:54.10, and Carlos Edu Olivera Leon was ninth in 17:41. 
  • Rose Flores was the first Lady Dawg to cross the finish line for sixth place in 13:10.70. 
  • Bennett’s time of 15:57.23 that he set at the Round Rock McNeil Meet on Sept. 26 is the fastest time in the state among high school boys, but Urista’s time at the McGregor Invitational propelled him to No. 8 in the state.
