State Bid Falls Short

The KingCo Conference representatives at the District 2/4 cross country meet this past Saturday made quite a statement by finishing in the top 6 positions. Unfortunately for the Roughriders, they needed to finish in the top 4 to make it to Pasco next week and fell short by 6 points. Individual qualifiers included Abraham and Andrew who finished with the identical time of 16:39. The full results can be found here.

Three seniors--Ben, Sean, and Malcolm--ran their last RHS XC race and gave it their best. They won't be forgotten any time soon. It's now up to the younger members of the team to step up and get the team over the hump next year so they can return to Pasco.

Keep returning to this page for new photos, links, and information about summer XC camps. Stay tuned!

Good luck at State, Abraham and Andrew! Go Riders!

Clouds, Wet, and Another Hole-in-the-Wall

Daniel pushes through the cold.

The RHS XC boys returned home from Lakewood Saturday with some individual PRs, but without the double championships they earned last year. The Roughriders young team showed they are learning, though. The varsity finished 11th, but the JV captured 4th and the frosh-soph team 9th. The individual results can be found on the athletic.net Web site by clicking the link on the right.
