Cedarcrest High School’s cross country squad hosted its only home meet of the season Thursday, Oct. 9, at Carnation’s Blue Heron Golf Course.
In spite of the fact that some athletes didn’t run to heal from injury, the meet was the Red Wolves’ most complete of the season, said coach Bruce McClellan.
“From top to bottom, most everyone was running their fastest times of the season,” he said.
The girls raced first and finished first in the team scores. Sophomore Madi Shinn finished in third place with a personal record of 20:33.31. Her time puts her tied for sixth in Cedarcrest’s top 10 list for the Blue Heron course. Ruby Farias, Kiana Ward (with a PR), Alicia Krivanek and MaryCate Babcock were the remaining four scorers.
The boys also finished first in the team race. Sophomore Ian Fay finished in second place with a personal record of 16:54.46. Sophomore Cameron Hammontree followed in third place.
Fay’s time puts him fourth on the Cedarcrest top 10 list for the course. Isaac Harper, Vincent Dams and Gunnar Schultz were the remaining scorers.
Athletes of the meet were Fay, Lars Candland, Shinn, Stephanie Busch, Noelle Viger and Chloe Cairns. Grady Lehto, Duncan Zuvich and Greta Klaiber also ran well.
“A big thanks to Blue Heron for allowing us to use their course as our home course,” said McClellan. “We get compliments every year from the other schools about running at the golf course, and this year was no different. Thanks also to all the Cedarcrest parents for their help with everything that went on today.”
