FAYETTEVILLE -- Fayetteville was disappointed when it failed to draw national attention after winning cross country meets in Missouri and Kansas.

Perhaps the Bulldogs will receive recognition in the MileSplit50 rankings after placing second in the high school boys division of the 31st annual Chile Pepper Festival on Saturday at the Agri Park course. Southlake (Texas) Carroll-Stripes placed first with 101 points. Fayetteville was second with 161 points followed by Lucas Lovejoy with 226 points and fourth-place Bentonville with 289 points.
