The CC Winn Maverick Cross Country Team couldn’t have been any closer to a District 29-AAAAA Championship on Saturday, October 12th at Southside High School in San Antonio.
The Mavericks and Cardinals almost came in two by two in a pack filling the top 10 in what was an amazingly close race for the district title. Only six points separated the two schools.

Southside’s Adolfo Morales was 6th followed one second later by both Moises Villarreal (PR 16:56.6) and Diego Jimenez (PR 16:59.2) of the Mavericks.

The Mavericks brought home the District 29-AAAAA Runner Up Plaque and momentum heading into this weekend’s big Region IV Meet in Corpus.
Winn’s Christian Acevedo (PR 17:55.5) placed 18th and two-sport star Mariano Hernandez (PR 18:22.6) almost broke the Top 20 placing 21st behind Harlandale’s Nathaniel Lucio (18:18.9) and Uvalde’s Arron Estrada (17:54.6).
Lady Maverick Citlali Rios placed 3rd overall in the district with a personal record 20:22.8 behind Uvalde’s Kayden Carrasco and Harlandale’s Adela Lerma. Winn’s Karina Rodriguez (PR 20:48.0) placed 9th, Abigail Flores (PR 22:07.0) placed 18th, Arleth Herrera (PR 22:30.5) placed 24th, Angie Limon (PR 23:10.2) and Leslie Carmona (PR 23:10.6) came in 28th and 29th respectively to give the Lady Mavericks a third place overall district finish edging out Harlandale by one point.
