UIL State Cross Country Qualifiers from Deep East Texas [Photos]

During the past week, thousands of high school cross-country runners have competed at regional meets to qualify for the UIL Texas State Meet in Round Rock. Corpus Christi, Grand Prairie, and Huntsville were the regional sites that hosted most of the competitions involving Deep East Texas teams.

The top four teams from each region won an automatic berth to the state tournament. The top ten individual finishers at each regional who were not on a team heading to state also earned their way to Round Rock.

The state meet will take place on November 1 & 2. Here are the cross-country runners from Deep East Texas who advanced.
