Select athletes from each sport will be acknowledged during the opening 45 minutes of the program. Afterward, athletes and families from individual sports move to separate rooms in order for the coaches to acknowledge team members.

Let's have a large cross country turn out and celebrate a great year!

Roughriders Face Challenge | State Recap

Jamel, Matthew, Sean, Malcolm, Derek, Andrew, Abraham & Coach

Each year at the Washington Cross Country championships, runners leave the Sun Willows Golf Course--site for the meet--scratching their heads wondering what they could have done to improve their lot. The course is beautiful, but deceptively challenging. Its continuous undulations and spongy surface are typically nothing most runners have experienced all season . . . until the end. On Saturday, Andrew and Abraham joined 150 runners for the concluding WIAA meet of the season. They looked good throughout the race but were unable to crack the top 50. Both runners will return next year for an opportunity to compete with Washington's best cross country athletes.

STATE 2007 | Preview

The Seattle Times published a brief "State Meet At a Glance" this morning and included a short article about the Redmond girl's team. With the loss of the Eastside and South King County Journals this year, the cross country coverage in the area has been pitiful. The Washington Runners Web site has been a great addition with nice contributions from various cross country enthusiasts in the state. This Pasco Cross Country Facts is a nice compendium of teams competing at this years' meet.

According to Weather Underground , the conditions during the day should be nearly ideal with the high temperature reaching 58 degrees.

Go Riders!
