The Tomahawk girls placed three runners in the top 25 to finish second to three-time State Open champion Tolland, while the boys wound up third, trailing only Staples and Danbury.
The top six teams and first 25 individuals at the State Open qualify for the New Englands, to be run Saturday, Nov. 14 at Thetford Academy, just outside of White River Junction, VT.
