A slight difference in time on the course allowed the Dripping Springs Tigers girls cross country team to narrowly edge the Hays Rebels for first place at the Dripping Springs Invitational Saturday.
Both Dripping Springs and Hays finished the day with 68 points. But the Tigers, who hosted the event, took first based on a lower split time while on the course. Dripping Springs’ split among its top five finishers was 1:13, while Hays’ was 1:52.

Following Bosquez was Hays’ Brissa Diaz, who finished in 12th place, and Adia Vera, who took 15th overall.
The Rebels girls team finished with a 17:56 average on the course.
Hays’ boys team also took home silver Saturday as it claimed second place out of an 11 team field.
