Northeastern North Carolina will have several contenders for regional cross-country championships when public high schools compete across five classifications Oct. 30-31.

Camden County’s Noah Davis and First Flight’s Adlai Berryman and Kayla Folkes enter their respective races with the fastest published seed times in their fields.

Davis leads the Class 2A East boys field with a 5,000-meter (3.1-mile) time of 15 minutes, 57 seconds, 43 seconds ahead of the next runner with a reported time. The 1A and 2A regionals will be held Saturday at Manteo High School.

Berryman leads the Class 4A East boys entries with a time of 16:04, while Folkes leads the girls field at 17:59.50. First Flight also has the second- and third-fastest girls seeds, with Kiah Smith at 18:29 and Savannah Tyson at 18:56.46.

First Flight has entered seven runners in each race, giving the Nighthawks an opportunity to advance both teams to the state championships.

In Class 3A, Martin County’s Ethan Copeland is among the leading boys entrants with a time of 18:00. Martin County has entered seven boys and three girls, while Northeastern has one runner in each race.

Currituck County will compete in Class 5A at Red Oak Middle School near Rocky Mount. The Knights have entered seven boys and seven girls, led by Curtis Null’s 16:53 boys seed and Hadleigh Ambrose’s 22:04 girls seed.

Washington High School in Beaufort County has entered six boys and five girls in the Class 4A East regional. Tripp Dunn leads the boys entries at 20:46.04, while Rosario Azqueta leads the girls at 25:04.

The Class 3A and 4A championships will be held Friday at the Lenoir County Fairgrounds in Kinston.

In the Class 2A competition, Camden County and John A. Holmes have enough runners entered in both races to compete for team qualification. Manteo has seven boys entered, including Solomon Cooper, whose seed time is 17:54.

Cape Hatteras, Ocracoke and Bear Grass Charter also have boys teams entered in the Class 1A East regional.

Under NCHSAA advancement rules, the top six teams from each regional and seven additional individuals who are not members of qualifying teams advance to the state championships.

The state championships are scheduled Nov. 6-7 at the Ivey Redmon Sports Complex in Kernersville.
