BHS boys, girls are 4A state champions
Baldwin High School's cross country teams swept the team titles at the Class 4A state meet Saturday. It's the first time both teams have won state championships in the same year since 2005.
Baldwin High School senior Tony Weiss completed his fourth top-four finish at the 4A state cross country meet Saturday morning. Weiss finished runner-up at the meet for the second time in his career. He led the Bulldogs to their first state championship in five years.
Baldwin High School junior Elizabeth Sigvaldson led the Bulldogs in the Class 4A state cross country race Saturday morning. Sigvaldson finished seventh to help the Bulldogs win their fourth straight state championship.
Wamego — It's been five years since the Baldwin High School’s cross country teams have both won state championships in the same year — until here today at the Class 4A state meet.
"It's a neat feeling for both of the teams," BHS coach Mike Spielman said. "It's such a hard thing to do for both teams to win in the same year. We just had a great day."
The BHS girls' cross country team won its fourth consecutive 4A state championship. The Bulldogs scored 58 points to win the team title. De Soto finished second with 105 team points. Baldwin has won seven of the last nine 4A girls' titles.
For the BHS boys' team, it was the first state championship since its streak of eight straight titles ended in 2005. This was the 10th state championship for the boys' program. The BHS boys unseated the three-time defending champion, Mulvane, en route to its own state crown.
