OXFORD — All Rebecca Hearn wanted to do was get to the line first. she wasn’t worried about a specific time, winning the race was the only objective.

The Jacksonville sophomore won the Calhoun County girls cross country championship Tuesday in a time of 20:16.52. She led wire to wire and won by 11 seconds over Alexandria’s Chloe Brown.

“I kept saying in my mind how awesome it’d be to be two-time county champion. That’s been pushing me all week,” Hearn said.

It was a double repeat winner, as Anniston senior Zebedee Lunsford made a strong final kick in winning the boys race in 17:16.57.
