Carson High School boys and girls cross country had the second-most selections for the Class 5A North all-region cross country teams this season, which are based on individual finishes at the regional meet.
The Senators had five runners named to the first-team list this fall in Sean Thornton, Sawyer Macy, Alex Miner, Vea Miner and Brianna Rodriguez-Nunez.
All five were top-seven finishers as individuals at the 5A regional meet at Rancho San Rafael Park.
Alongside those five, Carson High head coach Jason Macy was named as the 5A North boys coach of the year.
Douglas’ Lucy Nord was the lone first-team selection for the Tigers this season.
