Local runners compete in Admirals' fifth Battle of the Bay cross-county meet

Posted

LOXLEY, Ala. - For the fifth-consecutive year, Bayside Academy hosted the popular Battle of the Bay for cross country athletes from Mobile and Baldwin counties. The event took place Sept. 28 at Loxley Municipal Park.

The event included an elementary race for students in 6th grade and under, a Junior Varsity 3K race, and a Varsity 5K race.

With a dry course and sunny, but hot, weather conditions, Joseph Perry of UMS posted the winning time and new meet course record in the VarsIty 5K race, with a time of 16:25.02. Daphne's Ethan Rowe was not far behind to finish the Boys' Class 5A-7A boys race in first place at 16:37.81. 


Thirty-six teams participated in the meet with over 840 athletes registered. All participating schools were from Mobile and Baldwin counties with the exception of American Christian Academy (Tuscaloosa), Hartselle High School (Hartsell), Houston Academy (Dothan), and Jackson High School.

“It is so important to host these events here at home, and bring together Mobile and Baldwin county cross country runners where they are not on the road traveling toward the end of the season, since they will soon compete in sectionals, for the Alabama state championship, and for end-of-season rankings,” said Coach Joe Swagart of Bayside Academy.
Teams in two divisions were awarded placements based on classification of either 1A-4A or 5A-7A. The top two Varsity teams per division received rotating plaques. Top 15 varsity per division received medals.
