Kingwood TX girls, The Woodlands TX boys win big Nike South.

The major meet this week was the Nike South Invite with 6 of the top 10 ranked South boys teams and 7 of the top 10 South girls teams. US#9 SO#1 Kingwood TX girls and US#2 SO#1 The Woodlands TX boys displayed their firepower with convincing wins over these great fields.

Boys

#1 The Woodlands TX, #2 Cedar Park TX, #4 Carroll Southlake TX, #5 Marcus Flower Mound TX, #6 Flower Mound TX and #9 Cinco Ranch Katy TX competed at the Nike South Invitational. These six teams ended up as the top 6 in the final team scoring, but not in that exact order. The Woodlands took the team title with 3 boys in the top 6 even without recent #2 man sr Daniel Lanzillotti. He rolled an ankle in practice on Thursday and was held out for precautionary reasons. Flower Mound took 2nd with 4 in the top 19 led by 3rd place sr J.B. Lagos. Their top four is very tough as they had 4 in before anyone besides The Woodlands had 3 finishers. Cedar Park was 3rd and Cinco Ranch 4th as they had the best 1-5 splits of the top teams.
