Fayette County High School - Did not run at the Last Chance Invitational. There were too many conflicts with the team. The County Championships will be the last chance for some Fayette County runners to get a bid to the state meet. Tre Alverson is very close to meeting the qualifying time for the Tigers and anyone could surprise you. All schools participating in the county championships have run the course once this season at the Sandy Creek Invitational. The course runs faster than most and the runners are now familiar with it's nuances.
