A year after the Creekside boys won their second consecutive Class 3A title, the Creekside girls finished second Saturday behind Tallahassee Chiles. Two other St. Johns County girls teams also finished among the top 10 in 3A: Ponte Vedra was fourth, while Nease was sixth.
Five Creekside runners finished among the top 35, led by sophomore Claire Openshaw, who was third with a time of 18:09.08, just five-hundredths of a second behind second-place Emily Culley of Chiles. Four of those five Creekside runners are underclassmen.
