For the Region 7-AAA team champions in Thursday’s meet at Unicoi State Park, it all started with the runner at the top. North Hall’s Witt Nix breezed to the individual region title with a blistering time of 15 minutes, 55 seconds and led the Trojans to the team championship at the race hosted by White County High in Helen. In the girls race, White County freshman Jenna Gearing took the title by more than a minute (18:44) as her team edged out North Hall for the team championship and berth to the state meet.
