We had a great weekend in Bellingham and Silver Lake! We had fun team bonding and created some good memories. Everyone ran very well–our best team effort of the season so far.

Mohamud took 6th place.

The majority of our team members ran either a life-time PR or their very first 5K race ever last Saturday at Fort Steilacoom Invite. We had great weather, a competitive race, and a fun day. Mohamud Abdi moved up to #4 on our All-Time List, and Thuong Nguyen moved up to #18 on the girls All-Time List. The girl’s team finished third in the Small Schools division (2A and smaller), while the boys finished second place.

We have a lot of work to do to get to where we want to be as a team, but we off to a great start.

Pictures will be posted soon.
