The Breckenridge High School Lady Buckaroo Cross Country Team will advance to the regional meet after taking second place at the District 7 Meet in Eastland.

The Lady Buckaroos were just 22 points behind district champion Brock, which Breckenridge Coach Kim Dieterich said could have been a championship performance.

“There were a couple of spots where there were three Brock girls and a group of two (Breckenridge runners). If we could have gotten one person in there to break up each one of those, then we could have given them a run for their money.”

The Lady Buckaroos may have struggled against some of Texas’ most elite teams in the pre-district season, but that adversity seemed to pay dividends Saturday.

“The second game, we played better than what we were,” Breckenridge coach Jeana Yarbrough said. “In games one and three, once we got past the initial shock, the game was much better than the score indicated. My girls never gave up.”
