District meet results

Saturday was the district meet on Whidbey Island. Sadly, the team will not advance to the State Championships taking 9th place out of 16 teams. The team actually has much to be proud of. Looking at the winning 5 top runners score, none of them PR'd on this course and most of them had times 30-40 seconds off the Kingco championship times. Our team had multiple members that times were only 10-20 seconds longer than Kingco so it seems to me many ran a great race, although I'm not sure this is how the kids felt yesterday. Just making it to the district meet is a major accomplishment. The XC MOB has so much heart and much to be proud of.
