Week #11 10/30-11/4

Congratulations to our mens and womens team this weekend in Spokane with their 3rd and 5th place finishes respectively.  The boys team of Riley Moore, Anthony Stone, Jesse Todd, Chris Nilsen, Patrick Workman, Ryle Hollick, and Tim Nilsen punched their ticket to the state meet for the first time since 2013 andonly the third time since 1995.  Riley Moore just missed a course record in becoming Richland's 5th regional champ (Michael Williams 2013 and Lindsey Bradley 2012-2014).  The boys team will compete at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.  Race time is 2:30 pm.

The girls team of Katie Andrus, Emma Summers, Bailee Carr, Sophia Fetrow, Kara Lee Edvalson, Andrijana Fundak, and Madi Carr placed a very respectable 5th place only 3 points out of 4th.  Huge improvement from their 9th place finish the year before.  Katie and Emma will be representing the girls team at the state meet, but all of our girls will be honored and recognized as the 4A cross country state academic champs as well with their 3.992 cumulative GPA!  The girls race time is 1:00 pm.

State tickets at $10 for adults and $8 for students w/ASB.  No credit cards accepted.
