The Fernandina Beach High School girls and boys cross-country teams both placed first at the 7th annual Coach Hope Memorial Invitational on Saturday at The Golf Club of Amelia Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pirates hosted nine other schools \u2014 St. Francis, Baldwin, Yulee, Baker County, West Nassau, University Christian, Temple Christian, Hilliard and Hamilton County \u2014 for the meet, which honors the late Denise Harbin, a longtime FBHS guidance counselor and cross-country coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls\u2019 team dominated, claiming the top three spots. Jillian Loucks won in 20 minutes, 44 seconds, followed by Grace Scuderi (21:21) and Laella Reedy (22:35).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWinning the team title again is nice as it validates all the hard work the girls are putting in with their 6 a.m. practices,\u201d girls coach Dave Reinhart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the boys\u2019 side, John William Martin placed first in 17:59, while teammate Malik Ravenell took third in 19:13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medals went to the top 15 finishers in each race, with FBHS athletes earning seven on the girls\u2019 side and five on the boys\u2019. Baker County finished second in the boys\u2019 standings, while West Nassau took runner-up in the girls\u2019 race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had great support from the community, including a number of volunteers to help with course set-up and management of the race,\u201d boys coach Michael Kimmel said. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be able to put on an invitational like this without them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medals were presented by Harbin\u2019s husband, Jay, and veteran coach Roy Benson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
