The EG Girls Cross Country team repeated its Class B state title Ponaganset High Saturday, with sophomore Reese Fahys finishing first in 17:56.73, followed by Rylee Shunney (18:41.4), Jessica Martin (19:55.22), and Ava Peters (19:56.46). The Avengers strong showing gave them a strong first, with 22 points. Portsmouth came in second, with 78, and Westerly finished third with 81 points.

Fahys moved to EG from New Jersey in September; she is ranked among the fastest high school cross country runners in the country.

“They did great today,” said EG Girls Coach Erin Terry.
