Lindbergh Cross Country

Both the Lindbergh boys and the girls teams qualified for the state meet today at the West Central District meet.  Half of the schools in the entire state are in our district.  The girls ran their best race of the season and finished in 5th, and the boys ran one of their best races of the year to finish second.

This is the first time the girls have qualified as a team for the state meet since 1996 and the first time both teams have gone to state in the same season since 1992.  The girls beat two teams that were ranked in the top ten in the state:  Capital was ranked 7th and Enumclaw was ranked 10th.  The boys were beaten by the 4th ranked Peninsula, and they beat 5th ranked North Kitsap and 9th ranked Columbia River.

Some of our girls moved up on the all-time list:  Anna Patti is now the 5th fastest ever, Ariel Hodges moved up to #29 on the list, Liz Hansen is 36th, and Brenna Fisher is 38th all-time.

Girls Team:  1. North Kitsap  93, 2. Columbia River 94, 3. Peninsula 115, 4. Prairie 139, 5. Lindbergh 149, 6. Capital 158, 7. Enumclaw 164, 8. Camas 179
