NASHVILLE -- The Baylor girls' cross country team came into Saturday's state meet as a slight favorite to repeat as Division II-AA champion.

The Lady Red Raiders decided to erase all doubt.

Led by individual champion Hannah Jumper in 19:30.13, they placed four of their top five members on the all-state team -- meaning top-15 finishes -- and sailed to the championship at Percy Warner Park in Nashville.

Baylor's Brandon Lord and Red Bank's Claire Turner were other individual champions from Chattanooga.

The Baylor girls finished with 48 points, nearly half of second-place Brentwood Academy, which was expected to challenge for the title.

Freshmen Haley Chandler, Ruthie Townsend and Caitlin Duggan were fourth, 12th and 13th, respectively.

"I didn't expect this to be such an easy win on paper," Baylor coach Heather Ott said after her fifth state title. "We had talked about wanting everybody to do this for the team, and it's what we had been working on. The individual component is important, but you have to have seven that will suffer together.

"You do feel the pressure to repeat, especially with talented kids coming back. You know they're talented, but they have to work hard."

GPS's Johanna Gartman was sixth in 20 minutes, 22.18 seconds in the five-kilometer race.

McCallie finished second in the Division II-AA boys' meet with 84 points, second to Montgomery Bell Academy's 43. Thomas Walters and Douglas Anderson were all-state honorees with ninth- and 11th-place finishes. With Lord winning in 15:53.43 and Taylor Dix finishing 15th, the Baylor boys were fourth with 98 points.

"I thought we did a fantastic job. We had a good pack attack," McCallie coach Mike Wood said. "Anders Clarke and Nihar Patel packed in closer to the rest; that was the key. Going into today, we were ranked in the 4-to-6 range, so it was nice to finish runner-up."

Jumper became Baylor's first individual girls' champion and earned all-state honors for the fourth consecutive year.

"I won state and couldn't be happier," she said. "I can't critique myself because I'm so happy. I didn't plan to go out and lead. I just tried to tuck behind the girls. I just wanted to run the best for the team, because we had a shot at winning.

"The team title means so much; my individual title came from the team pushing me, so I was running the best I could for them."

Lord ran away from the Division II-AA boys' field after finishing second a year ago to teammate Bill Matthews, now a University of Georgia freshman.

"I felt pretty good -- in control," he said. "I thought it was a good race. I wanted to run 15:39 like Bill last year; I was pretty close, but I'll take it. It's different to be the top guy on the podium."

Turner was one of two Red Bank all-staters, joining freshman Robert Bridges, who finished 12th in the Class A/AA boys' race at 17:33.76.

"That's just fantastic. It was good races for both," Red Bank coach Hugh Enicks said. "Claire had to hang tough, and for R.J. to hang in there and be the little freshman banging elbows with the upperclassmen, he laid it out there."

Notre Dame's Alex Mullin and Cay Hendrickson were sixth and seventh, and McMinn Central junior Dianna Eddington was 11th. Sequatchie County's Dylan Harper took sixth in the A/AA boys' race.

In Class AAA, Bradley Central's Jacquelin Pitcock made all-state for the third consecutive season with a seventh-place finish.

Heritage girls fourth

At Carrollton, Ga., the Heritage girls' team took fourth in the Georgia Class AAA meet, finishing with 139 points.

Heritage senior Stephanie Shipley was 10th in the five-kilometer race in 20 minutes, 3.26 seconds. The Heritage boys were 15th.

Dalton, the Chattanooga Cross Country League boys' team of the year, was seventh in the Class AAAA competition with 274 points. Andrew Bruner was the Catamounts' top finisher, taking 34th in 17:34.60.

The Lady Catamounts finished 13th.

Calhoun's boys were 11th in Class AA and Dade County's girls were 18th. Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe was 29th in Class AAA.
