ROME — Troy’s Alyssa Parks did what she wanted to do during the varsity girls race at the NTL Coaches’ Invitational Saturday.

The senior came in seeded fourth and that’s what she took, running 20:20.4 to get into the top five.

Parks hopes this type of competition will get her ready for the District IV Championships.

“It’s really good because I’m seeded third,” she said. “I really want to qualify for states, and hopefully get a medal, if I can. I’m going to keep pushing myself as hard as possible.”

Also for the Trojans Sheridan Wilcox (29:19.1) was 47th, and Kalynn Keltz (29:53.1) took 48th.

On the boys’ side Troy was third with 86 points.

Evan Geer (17:38) and Frank Harper (17:49.2) both had top 15 performances to lead the Trojans, finishing eighth and 11th. RJ Bellinger (18:33.1) was 21st, Hart Houseknecht (18:50.4) came in 23rd, and Cooper Kellogg (18:57.4) rounded out the top five in 27th.
