Asbill wins Dayton boys' division
DAYTON - Dayton Head Cross Country Michael Asbill has been leading the running Broncos for years. Every year, Asbill and Dayton put on a heck of a cross country meet, and on Saturday morning, the Broncos did it again.

Teammates Peyton Snapp and Gamaliel Ruiz finished respectfully in fifth and sixth place. Jacob Thomas was 12th, and Isaac Ramirez crossed in 15th place.
For the Liberty boys, Daniel Del Rio led the Panthers in 47th and Jace Potetz was a few places behind him. Dayton finished with 39 points as a team, and Barbers Hill was in second place with 50.
On the girls’ varsity, the Lady Eagles of Barbers Hill won the team title, with Port Neches- Groves Morgan Campbell coming in first.
Linda Bibbs led the Lady Broncos with a seventh- place finish and Paulene Bibbs was 18th. Jamie Maddy and Katherine Hernandez checked in at 25th and 30th place.
Cleveland’s Abigail Guevera crossed in 34th place. Erika Herrera of the Lady Broncos was 36th. Hamshire-Fannett’s Adison Richard took first place in the varsity girl’s two-meter run. Aria Leal of Tarkington ran a nice race and finished in seventh place, while teammates Aila Flippo-Brock and Brianna Jones were 24th and 26th, respectively.
