CANTON — The Columbiana girls cross country team captured its first district title Saturday.

The Clippers topped 10 teams in the Division IV district meet at Canton GlenOak High School with 59 points.

Columbiana had two of the top 10 finishers with sophomore Kaitlin Benner in seventh and junior Maddie Jackson in ninth.

The Clippers’ previous best district team finish was third three years in a row from 2008-10.

Heartland Christian senior Rebecca Geiss was denied a fourth straight district title, but ran one of her fastest times (17:48.17) for a second-place finish behind Lake Center senior Gianna Ritchie. Geiss’ time is less than four seconds off her personal best from the state meet last year when she was the runner-up.

Southern Local senior Mara Miller was 10th in the race.

The Salem girls and Heartland Christian boys had runner-up finishes in their respective team races.

The Salem girls finished second behind Marlington with 73 points in the Division III race. The Quakers had six runners under 22 minutes, led by freshman Addison Hopple in eighth and junior Cassidy Wallace in 10th.

The Heartland boys were second in Division IV with 99 points. Sophomore Miciah Reigstad and senior Mason Sharo led the Lions by placing fourth and fifth, respectively.

Other teams advancing are the West Branch boys, fifth in Division III with 133 points, and the Salem boys, 12th in Division II with 311 points. Junior Sam Yakubek was third out of 174 boys runners to lead Salem.

The regional meet will be held at Boardman High School this Saturday.
