| Middle school girls runners. |
You can say pretty much every year, but it was a great season for both the middle and high school cross country programs. Both Runnin’ Barons teams won region. The boys won state for a second straight year, the girls finished state runner up for a second straight year. BCMS also won grand champion (lowest score combined for JV and varsity races) at the state meet.

The Runnin’ Royals also had great seasons again. Both teams won region (girls 23rd straight, boys 20th straight title.) Both teams won state (four in a row for girls, eighth in program history, two in a row for boys, fourth in program history.) The 49 combined points of both teams was the lowest score at state in school history.
