A third place finish was how the Hays Rebel boys and girls cross country teams closed the district season at the 25-6A championships at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock Tuesday.
Both teams now advance to compete at the UIL Region IV cross country meet, which will be held Texas A&M Corpus Christi next week.
