WCS cross-country athletes won three new State titles at the 2024 Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association (TSSAA) State Cross-Country Championship.

Independence High’s Asher Oakes is the TSSAA Boys Class AAA Cross-Country champion. His coach is Luke Finley.

“Asher is completely committed to the sport both mentally and physically,” Finley said. “He is cool under stress and runs brilliant tactical races. He is also a committed and encouraging teammate and an inspiration on our campus.”
Nolensville High’s Claire Stegall is the TSSAA Girls Class AAA Cross-Country champion for the third consecutive year. Her coach is Christopher Demetra.

“Claire has an incredible gift for running, but she is also very dedicated to being her best every day,” Demetra said. “She has been a great teammate and a joy to coach.”
