South Bubble Teams FEAST Home School, 6^th at Nike South last week, and Georgetown, 5^th at McNeil on Oct 3^rd, clashed on the long wet grass in the picturesque woods of Starcke Park in Seguin, TX.  The expected tight race evaporated as FEAST put four in the top eleven and ran away to a 99 point victory with 47 to Georgetown’s 146.  New Braunfels Canyon was third (176) in the 33 team field.

Twins Janessa and Emily Dunn, 10^th and 17^th at Nike South, respectively, overtook early leader Haleigh Blackwell of Georgetown in the second mile of the 3243m course with Emily nipping Janessa by a tenth of a second, 11:53.9 to 11:54.0 for first.  Alexandra Alvizo of New Braunfels Canyon claimed third in 11:59.8 with Blackwell finishing fourth in 12:01.3.

In a tight boys race FEAST Home School upset South Bubble Team Georgetown 109 to 116.  With top performances from their third and fourth runners FEAST defended their title for the third year in a row - as did the FEAST girls.  San Antonio Clark was a solid third (125) in the 34 team field.
