Girls Cross Country Advances to
State
Saturday was muddy and
rainy as the Cedarcrest cross country squad competed at the Northwest
District Championships held at South Whidbey HS.
The course was probably the slowest it has
been in years, with lots of puddles and standing water. The team went
through lots of clothes and shoes trying to stay as dry as they could.
The girls won the Northwest District
Championships team title over a very good Sehome team. It is the second
consecutive year that the girls squad has won the District title. Today
was a much much better day for the girls squad than last week's
Conference meet. It was definitely a more complete team performance
with 6 girls finishing in the top 21. So now the girls move on to State
where..... we get to run against Sehome again. This is the third
consecutive year that the Cedarcrest girls' squad has qualified for
State.
The boys squad had an OK day finishing 8th
as a team in a really tough district. We were hoping to get a couple
boys a bit higher up but it just wasn't to be. They are certainly
looking forward to next year as we return six out of the nine that were
part of this year's district squad.
Athletes of the Meet were
Cara Strodel for running a strong 3rd place, and Tia Smith and Jessica
Beam for both running a very strong last two miles. Cody Wanichek and
Chad Linnerooth should also be recognized for running their own good
races.
