Alabama performs well at the first ever NTN SouthEast

Madeline Morgan of Mountain Brook took the top spot in the Girls Championship race leading early on and extending her lead throughout the race.  Marie Demedicis also of Mountain Brook took 7th to round out the top Alabama finishers.  The Mountain Brook girls (US #3 and 07 6A State Champions) running under the name "Caution RC" finished 3rd in the Champoionship Race.  While this does not automatically qualify them for Oregon, they are strong contenders for a wild card spot as they have defeated other automatic qualifiers this season.  The Hoover girls running under "Birmingham XC" took 9th.
