Blake White (Lexington) was eighth overall (16:17) and teammate Tony Morales finished 11th in 16 minutes, 23 seconds.
"What a way to open up the season," said Lexington coach Bailey Harris. "A big meet on a big time course and our guys ran really well. Most of our kids have run Foot Locker (South) there, but not a team meet."
Lexington boys finished first with 51 points. Mount Tabor (N.C.) was second with 73. Hilton Head finished seventh (242) and Mauldin eighth (266).
