Fifth Week: 9/18 to 9/24

Great job last week by everyone.  Good week of practice and great day of racing on Saturday in Lakewood.  Bella Williams won the freshman race with a monster last mile to make up almost 20 seconds on the leader.  Conner Budzeck finished 3rd in the junior/senior JV race in a smart tactical race.  Katie Andrus and Emma Summers placed 12th and 25th in the Girls gold race. Our boys placed 7th in a loaded boys field with Riley Moore leading the way with a 6th place finish in 15:41.5, less than a 2nd our of 3rd.  Jesse Todd ran a 5K PR to place 22nd overall.  Great performances by our girls in the silver varsity race by place 3rd, 7th, and 8th led by Sophia Fetrow.  Fantastic jobs by Andrijana Fundak, Madi Carr, Bailee Carr in their first high school 5K's.

Athletes will get out of 6th period early for our trip down to Walla Walla for our first league meet of the year.  As a reminder, athletes are not allowed to ride home with anyone other than their parents unless arranged prior to the meet with our athletic director Mr. Edwards. Athletes not riding the bus home are expected to stay through the conclusion of the last race of the meet.

Athletes need to make sure they are taking care of the little things (sleep, diet, etc) to ensure a healthy and productive season.
