For the boys, West Florence finished in first place, followed by Hartsville and South Florence.

Hartsville head coach Buster Freeman said Thursday the status of top boys’ team runner Brad Freeman is still uncertain, and he does not know if he will be able to run at the region meet in Sumter.

The Foxes will be in action again on Wednesday, Oct. 22 in Sumter. The meet will begin at 7:30 p.m.
