ENID, Okla. — Oklahoma Bible Academy will go into Saturday’s state cross country meet with momentum.

The Trojan boys repeated as champions at the 3A regional at Crosslin Park Saturday, edging out Chandler, 54-49.

Blaine Whitson and Merritt Suenram were second and fourth with times of 17:54.47 and 18:15.06 respectively. OBA had three others in the top 21 — Logan Jantz, 16th, 19:18.81; Carson Combest, 18th, 19:27.69; and Chase Wehrenberg, 21st, 19:42.22.

“I was real pleased with how it turned out,’’ said OBA coach Clellie Richards. “We have an advantage at the top and at the bottom (No. 5). The middle of the lineup is always the key for us and they ran like I expected them to.’’

Chisholm’s Tommy Grebe, seventh, 18:34.66 and Ryan Tom, 14th, 19:13.12, qualified as individuals.

OBA’s girls qualified for state by finishing fourth with 103 points, placing behind Jones (28), Hennessey (52) and Perry (75).

The Lady Trojans had three in the top 20 — Ryan Turpin, 12th, 14:08.03; Molly Payne, 13th, 14:12.34; and Kelsey Glazier, 20th, 14:20.94.

“I was super pleased with the girls,’’ Richards said. “It was their goal all year to qualify for state.’’

Chisholm’s  Falon Robinett qualified as individual, taking fifth in 13:35.43. Hennessey’s Cheyenne Choate, the defending 2A state champion, was the individual winner with a time of 12:54.41 over the two-mile course.

The girls meet will start at 10 a.m. and the boys at 10:45 a.m. Saturday at the Gordon Cooper Vo Tech Center in Shawnee.

Plainview is the strong boys favorite. OBA, the defending runner-up, is expected to battle Marlow and Riverside for second.

“Plainview looks really tough,’’ Richards said. “Any of us will have to run super tough to run with them at state. Our girls are looking forward to trying to beat a few teams.’’
