The Lady Jags totaled 75 points to hold off runner-up Southlake Carroll (96) and The Woodlands (108) on the five-kilometer (3.1-mile) course.
The FMHS team was compiled of Ally Buemi, Natalie Cook, Nicole Humphries, Virginia Knight, Samantha Humphries, Hannah McLaughlin and Miranda Vreeland. Cook, who is the daughter of head coach Andrew Cook, led the way with a time of 18 minutes, 5.94 seconds. Her time was good for seventh overall.
