The Brighton girls’ team – Brie Howard, Kailyn Varnadore, Karsen Waddell, Kamryn Bridges, Presley Smith, Mackenzie Winnans and Hailey Landers – finished third to qualify for state as a team.

Howard led all Tipton County runners with a third place finish to also qualify as an individual. Landers finished 13th and Varnadore took 20th.

Munford’s girls finished fifth and the Covington girls took sixth. The top three teams qualify for state.
