Olivia Gibbs, a freshman, and
Riley Moore, a junior, finished first and second, respectively, in the 5000m race hosted by Brookhaven High School. The Lady Arrows were edged out of the top spot by St. Andrew's Episcopal School with a deficit of three points in the team competition.
Gibbs' six-minute, 48-second pace landed her in the top spot with a time of 20:25.58. Moore was not far behind her teammate as she clocked a time of 20 minutes, 45 seconds.
The Lady Arrows landed
