Preston Drennan was 37^th in 19:13, followed by Riley Buntin in 97^th place (21:48) and Colton Clark in 124^th place (26:03).

The Panthers cruised to the team title with 50 points – 30 fewer than second-place Paducah Tilghman.

Dawson Springs will look to defend its region title on Saturday at the Class 1A Region 1 Meet next Saturday at Marshall County High School.
